Help Center/ Elastic Volume Service/ User Guide (Kuala Lumpur Region)/ Disk Capacity Expansion/ Extending Disk Partitions and File Systems (Windows Server 2008)

Extending Disk Partitions and File Systems (Windows Server 2008)

Updated on 2024-03-26 GMT+08:00

Scenarios

After a disk is expanded on the management console, the disk size is enlarged, but the additional space cannot be used directly.

In Windows, you must allocate the additional space to an existing partition or a new partition.

If the disk capacity is expanded on a stopped server, the additional space of a Windows system disk or Windows data disk will be automatically added to the partition at the end of the disk upon the server startup. In this case, the additional space can be used directly.

This section uses Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise 64bit as the sample OS to describe the expansion methods:

The method for allocating the additional space varies with the server OS. This section is used for reference only. For detailed operations and differences, see the corresponding OS documents.

NOTICE:

Performing the expansion operations with caution. Incorrect operations may lead to data loss or exceptions. So you are advised to back up the disk data using CBR or snapshots before expansion. For details about using CBR, see Managing EVS Backups. For details about using snapshots, see Creating a Snapshot.

Prerequisites

System Disk: Add the Additional Space to the Original Volume

In this example, the system disk has 50 GiB originally, and 22 GiB is added on the management console. The following procedure describes how to add this 22 GiB to volume (C:) on the server. After the operation is complete, volume (C:) will have 72 GiB of capacity and can be used as a system volume.

  1. On the desktop of the server, right-click Computer and choose Manage from the shortcut menu.

    The Server Manager window is displayed.

  2. In the navigation tree, choose Storage > Disk Management.

    The Disk Management window is displayed.

    Figure 1 Disk Management (system disk)
    NOTE:

    If you cannot see the additional space, right-click Disk Management and choose Refresh from the shortcut menu.

  3. On the Disk Management page, select the disk and volume that you want to extend. The current volume size and unallocated space are displayed.
  4. Right-click the target volume and choose Extend Volume.

    Figure 2 Choosing Extend Volume

  5. On the displayed Extend Volume Wizard window, click Next.

    Figure 3 Extend Volume Wizard

  6. In the text box to the right of Select the amount of space in MB, enter the amount of the additional space and click Next.

    Figure 4 Selecting space

  7. Click Finish.

    After the expansion succeeded, the partition size is larger than the original size.
    Figure 5 Capacity expansion succeeded

System Disk: Create a New Volume with the Additional Space

In this example, the system disk has 40 GiB originally, and 60 GiB is added on the management console. The following procedure describes how to use this 60 GiB to create a new volume, for example volume (F:), on the server. After the operation is complete, new volume (F:) has 60 GiB of capacity and can be used as a data volume.

  1. On the desktop of the server, right-click Computer and choose Manage from the shortcut menu.

    The Server Manager window is displayed.

  2. In the navigation tree, choose Storage > Disk Management.

    The Disk Management window is displayed.
    Figure 6 Refresh (system disk)

  3. If you cannot see the additional space, right-click Disk Management and choose Refresh from the shortcut menu.

    After the refresh, the additional space is displayed in the right area and is unallocated.

    Figure 7 Unallocated disk space (system disk)

  4. In the Unallocated area of Disk 0, right-click the blank area and choose New Simple Volume.

    Figure 8 New Simple Volume (system disk)

  5. On the displayed New Simple Volume Wizard window, click Next.

    Figure 9 New Simple Volume Wizard (system disk)

  6. On the displayed Specify Volume Size page, set Simple volume size in MB and click Next. In this example, the default size is used.

    Figure 10 Specify Volume Size (system disk)

  7. On the displayed Assign Drive Letter and Path page, click Assign the following drive letter, select a drive letter, and click Next. In this example, drive letter F is selected.

    Figure 11 Assign Drive Letter or Path (system disk)

  8. On the displayed Format Partition page, click Format this volume with the following settings, set parameters based on the requirements, and select Perform a quick format. Then, click Next.

    Figure 12 Format Partition (system disk)

  9. Click Finish.

    After the expansion succeeded, new volume (F:) is displayed.

System Disk: Create a New Volume Using the Available Space Shrunk from the Original Volume

In this example, the system disk has 40 GiB originally, and 60 GiB is added on the management console and then formatted and added to volume (C:). This 60 GiB has not been used.

The following procedure describes how to use the shrink function to create new volume (D:) with this 60 GiB. After the operation is complete, new volume (D:) can be used as a data volume.

  1. On the desktop of the server, right-click Computer and choose Manage from the shortcut menu.

    The Server Manager window is displayed.

  2. In the navigation tree, choose Storage > Disk Management.

    The Disk Management window is displayed.
    Figure 15 Refresh (shrink volume)

  3. In the (C:) area of Disk 0, right-click the blank area and choose Shrink Volume.

    Figure 16 Shrink Volume

  4. The system automatically queries the available shrink space. In the displayed dialog box, enter the available space and click Shrink.

    In this example, the volume available space is 60 GiB. Therefore, enter 61440 (60 × 1024 MiB).

    Figure 17 Shrink (shrink volume)
    After the operation is complete, Disk 0 has 60 GiB unallocated space.
    Figure 18 Unallocated (shrink volume)

  5. In the Unallocated area of Disk 0, right-click the blank area and choose New Simple Volume.

    Figure 19 New Simple Volume (shrink volume)
