Disk Management utility
When the Advanced Volume Management button on the Volumes screen is selected, the
Disk Management Utility is opened after administrator login.
The Disk Management tool is a system utility for managing hard disks and the volumes, or
partitions, that they contain. Disk Management is used to initialize disks, create volumes,
format volumes with the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS file systems, and create fault-tolerant disk
systems. Most disk-related tasks can be preformed in Disk Management without restarting the
system or interrupting users; most configuration changes take effect immediately. A complete
online help facility is provided with the Disk Management Utility for assistance in using the
product.

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.
