Figure 38: Disk Management utility
Note: When the Disk Management utility is accessed, the Remote Desktop connection assumes a
dedicated mode and can only be used to manage disks and volumes on the server. Navigating to
another page during an open session closes the session.
Note: It may take a few moments for the Remote Desktop Connection session to log off when closing
Disk Management.
Guidelines for Managing Disks
When managing disks and volumes:
■ Read the online Help found in the WebUI.
■ Do not alter the Operating System Disk Labeled Local Disk C:.
■ Do not alter the disk labeled “DON’T ERASE.”
■ The use of software RAID-based dynamic volumes is not recommended; use the array
controller instead, it is more efficient.
■ The largest disk that Windows Storage Server 2003 can accommodate from a storage
system is 2 TB.
■ It is not recommended to span array controllers with dynamic volumes.
■ Use meaningful volume labels with the intended drive letter embedded in the volume
label, if possible. For example, volume e: might be named “Disk E:.” Volume labels often
serve as the only means of identification.
■ Record all volume labels and drive letters in case of system Quick Restore. See
“Managing Disks After Quick Restore” later in this chapter.
