• Disk Management enables you to perform most disk-related tasks without restarting the system or

interrupting users.

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. Open the Server Manager, click on the Tools menu, and select Computer Management → Storage

→ Disk Management.

2. In Disk Management, right-click the Basic Volume you want to extend.

3. Click Extend Volume.

The Extend Volume Wizard window is displayed.

4. Follow the instructions on your screen. Choose the disks, 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).

Shrinking A Volume

You can decrease the space used by primary partitions and logical drives by shrinking them into adjacent,

contiguous space on the same disk. For example, if you need an additional partition but do not have

additional disks, you can shrink the existing partition from the end of the volume to create new un-

allocated space that can then be used for a new partition.

To shrink a volume:

1. Open the Server Manager, click on the Tools menu, and select Computer Management → Storage

→ Disk Management.

2. In Disk Management, right-click the Basic Volume you want to shrink.

3. Click Shrink Volume.

A Shrink <volume name> window is displayed.
