Adding a Disk

Scenarios

If the data disk capacity of a purchased desktop does not meet requirements, you can add data disks to the desktop.

Prerequisites

You can add data disks only to a running desktop.

Procedure

1. Log in to the console.
2. In the navigation pane, choose Desktops > Desktops.

   The Desktops page is displayed.

3. Select the desktop to which a data disk is to be added and choose More > Disks and Snapshots > Add Disk.

   The page for adding a disk is displayed.

4. Click Add and configure the data disk.
   • High I/O disks use serial attached SCSI (SAS) drives to store data. They are suitable for common workloads.
   • Ultra-high I/O disks use solid state disk (SSD) drives to store data. They are suitable for mission-critical enterprise services as well as high-throughput workloads demanding low latency.
   • General purpose SSD disks use SSD drives to store data. They are suitable for enterprise office applications requiring high throughput and low latency.
   

   • The data disk size is 10 to 8200 GB (the value must be an integer multiple of 10).
   • Disks cannot be added to hourly-billed Flexus desktops.
   • The maximum number of data disks to add is 10 minus the number of existing data disks.

5. Select I understand the impact of this operation and will perform it and click Next.
6. Confirm the information about the added disk and click OK.
