Managing A Volume
Disk Management can be used to manage disks and volumes.
• You can initialize disks, create volumes, and format volumes with the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS file systems using
Disk Management.
• Disk Management enables you to perform most disk-related tasks without restarting the system or interrupting
users. Most configuration changes take effect immediately.
Extending A Volume
You can add more space to existing primary partitions and logical drives by extending them into adjacent un-allocated
space on the same disk. To extend a basic volume, it must be raw or formatted with the NTFS file system.
Extending A Basic Volume Using The Windows Interface
NOTE: If you do not have un-allocated space in your disk, use Dell OpenManage Server Administrator to extend
your LUN before you extend your volume.
To extend a basic volume using the Windows interface:
1. In Disk Management, right-click the Basic Volume you want to extend.
2. Click Extend Volume….
3. Follow the instructions on your screen. Choose the disk, type in the amount of space and complete the wizard.
Extending A Basic Volume Using CLI
To extend a basic volume using CLI:
1. Open a command prompt window and type diskpart.
2. At the DISKPART prompt, type list volume.
3. Make note of the basic volume you want to extend.
4. At the DISKPART prompt:
a) type select volume <volume number> to select the basic volume number that you want to extend into
contiguous, empty space on the same disk
b) type extend [size=<size>] to extend the selected volume by size megabytes (MB).
Example:
C:\Users\administrator.NAS3K>diskpart Microsoft DiskPart version 6.0.6001
Copyright (C) 1999-2007 Microsoft Corporation.
On computer: R01-4
DISKPART> list volume
The Table below lists the volume:
