Adding Disks

Scenario

Add data disks to a desktop pool.

Prerequisites

You can add data disks only to a running desktop pool.

Procedure

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

   The Desktop Pools page is displayed.

3. You can access the page for adding data disks to a desktop pool in either of the following ways:

   Method 1:

   Locate the row that contains the desktop pool to which disks are to be added, click More > Disk > Add Disk in the Operation column. The page for adding disks is displayed. Method 2:

   On the desktop pool page, click the name of the desktop pool whose disks are to be added. The basic information page of the desktop pool is displayed.

   Click Add on the right of the Disk Information column in the desktop pool information. The page for adding disks is displayed.

4. Click Add a data disk 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.
   

   • After the desktop is created, you will be billed for the disk until the desktop is deleted.
   • After the disk partition is formatted, stop or restart the desktop, or expand the disk capacity.
   • The desktop will be restarted during disk addition.
   • Only one data disk can be added to a desktop pool at a time.

   • The data disk size is 10 to 8200 GB (the value must be an integer multiple of 10).
   • The maximum number of added data disks is 10 minus the number of existing data disks.

5. Select I understand the impact of this operation and are sure to add it.
6. Click Next.
7. Confirm the information about the new disk and click OK. The data disk has been added.
