Initializing a Windows Data Disk (Windows Server 2016)

Updated on 2022-09-16 GMT+08:00

Scenarios

This section uses Windows Server 2016 Standard 64bit to describe how to initialize a data disk attached to a BMS running Windows.

The maximum disk capacity supported by MBR is 2 TB, and that supported by GPT is 18 EB. Therefore, use the GPT partition style if your disk capacity is greater than 2 TB. For details about disk partition styles, see Introduction to Data Disk Initialization Scenarios and Partition Styles.

The method for initializing a disk varies depending on the OSs running on the BMS. This document is for reference only. For detailed operations and differences, see the product documents of the OSs running on the corresponding BMSs.

CAUTION:

When using an EVS disk for the first time, if you have not initialized the disk, including creating partitions and file systems, the additional capacity added to the disk in a later expansion operation may not be normally used.

Prerequisites

  • You have logged in to the BMS.
  • A data disk has been attached to the BMS and has not been initialized.

Procedure

  1. On the BMS desktop, click the start icon in the lower left corner.

    The Windows Server window is displayed.

  2. Click Server Manager.

    The Server Manager window is displayed.
