Expanding the Capacity of an EVS Disk

Scenarios

You can expand the disk capacity if the disk space is insufficient. The capacities of both system disks and data disks can be expanded.

Procedure

The capacity of an EVS disk can be expanded in either of the following ways:
  • Apply for an EVS disk and attach it to an ECS.
  • Expand the capacity of an existing EVS disk. The capacities of both system disks and data disks can be expanded.

    For details about how to expand the capacity of an EVS disk, see Disk Capacity Expansion.

For details, see Expansion Overview.

After the disk capacity is expanded, only the storage capacity of the EVS disk is expanded. To use the added storage space, you also need to log in to the ECS and extend the partition and file system.

Related Operations

For a Windows ECS, if you want to expand the disk capacity by clearing disk files, you can reduce the size of the WinSxS folder using tools built into Windows. For details, see Clean Up the WinSxS Folder.
