Creating and Initializing a Disk (Windows-based VMs)

Create and initialize a disk to prepare it for partitioning into volumes in a Windows-based virtual machine.

To create and initialize a disk in a Windows-based virtual machine

1. Use the everRun Availability Console to create a new volume in a storage group on the everRun system, as described in Creating a Volume in a Virtual Machine.
2. In the Windows guest operating system, open Disk Management or a similar utility.
3. Initialize the newly-added disk. (You may be prompted to do so automatically.)
4. Convert the disk to a dynamic disk.
5. Create one or more simple volumes on the disk.
6. Restart the Windows guest operating system.

See your Windows documentation for complete instructions.
