Chapter 15. Adding a new hard disk
If you don't have enough space for your data, you can either replace the old disk with a
new, higher-capacity one (data transfers to new disks are described in the previous
chapter), or add a new disk to store data, leaving the system on the old disk. If the server
has space for another disk, it would be easier to add a data disk drive than to clone a
system one.
This feature is available in Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server local version only.
Adding disks using Acronis True Image Management Console is not supported.
To add a new disk, you must first install it in your server.
15.1 Selecting a hard disk
Select the disk that you've added to the server.
This window might be bypassed if the program detects the new disk itself. In this case,
you will immediately proceed to the new partition creation.
If there are any partitions on the new disk, they must be deleted first.
Select
Delete partitions on the destination hard disk
and click
Next
to continue.
15.2 Creating new partitions
Next you will see the current partition layout. Initially, all disk space will be unallocated.
This will change after you add new partitions.
To create a partition, select
Create new partition in unallocated space
and click
Next
to perform steps required by the partition creation wizard.
