Disk Management

A snap-in located in Computer Management Use to view disk information and perform disk

management tasks on local and remote computers

Enables you to perform most dis-related tasks without

shutting down the system or interrupting users

Disk Part Tool

You can use the Disk Part command line tool tomanage:

-- Disks

-- Partitions

-- Volumes

Before using Disk Part command, first select the

object to give it focus

When an object has focus, and Disk Part commandthat will act on that object

Use Disk Part to run scripts to do repetitive tasks.

Disk Part Tool

Syntax:


6/50


Partition

A physical disk is divided into separate sections calledpartition

Partitioning can create up to 24 drive letters

Disk must first be initialized and formatted before

partitioning


7/50


Partition

Basic disks can have up to-- Four primary partition

-- Or three primary partitions and one extended

partition

Extended partitions can be sub divided into logical

drives

Primary partitions cannot be subdivided

Using DiskPart

Procedure: Open Command prompt, and then type diskpart

At the Diskpart prompt, type list volume.

At the Diskpart prompt,type select volume n (where n

is the number of the volume whose drive letter is tobe changed)

At the Diskpart prompt, type one of the following:

-- assign letter=L (where L is the drive letter)-- remove letter=L

Managing Disk Properties

Disk Management-- General (Provides the model number and the

location of the disk.)

-- Volume (Provides the disk number, type, status,

partition style, capacity, unallocated space, andreserved space of the disk.

DiskPart

-- In addition to Disk Management information,

Diskpart provides disk ID and disk type


18/50


View Disk Properties

View disk properties by using Disk Management View disk properties by using Diskpart


19/50


Purpose of a Mounted Drive

Adds volume to systems without adding separatedrive letters for each new volume

-- Disk Management assigns a drive path to the drive rather than a drive

letter

-- Drive paths retain their association to the drive

-- Add or rearrange storage devices without the drive path failing


20/50


Creating a Mounted Drive

Procedure In Computer Management, open Disk Management

Right-clcik the volume that you want to mount, and

then click Change Drive Letter and Paths.

Click Add, browse to Mount in the following emptyNTFS folder


21/50


Basic Disks Vs Dynamic DiskBasic Disks

It provides segregated space to organize the data

It can be divided into four primarypartitons or up tothree primary partition and one extended partition.

Dynamic Disks A dynamic disk can be used to create volumes that

span multiple disks

There is no limit on the number of volumes per disk

that canbe configured on a dynamic disk Used to create fault-tolerant disks that ensure data

intergrity when hardware failures occur


22/50


Conevert Basic to Dynamic Disks

Create and delete simple, spanned, striped, mirroredand RAID-5 volumes

Extend a simple or spanned volume

Repair mirrored or RAID-5 volumes

Reactivate volumes that span more the one disk


23/50


Dynamic Disk Conversion

Can convert a disk from basic to dynamicstorage at any time without losing data

Dynamic disks are associated with Disk

Groups-- Disk Group help to organize dynamic disks

-- Each disk in a Disk Group stores replicas of the same

configuration data

-- Windows initializes the disk with a Disk Group identity and

a copy of the current Disk Group configurtion


24/50


Dynamic Disk Conversion

Existing partitions on the basic disk becomevolumes

Dynamic disks can be reverted back to basic

disks-- Disk structure and data is not maintained

-- Back up data before reverting


25/50


Converting Basic Disk to Dynamic

Procedure

In Computer Management, open Disk Management

Right-click the basic disk that you want to convert,

click Convert to Dynamic Disk, and then follow he

instructons


26/50


Reverting a Dynamic to Basic Disk

Procedure

Back up all volumes on the disk that yo want toconvert from dynamic to basic


Right-click each volume on the dynamic disk that youwant to revert to a basic disk, and then click DeleteVolume for each volume on the disk.

When all volumes on the disk have been deleted,right-click the disk, and then click Convert to BasicDisk

Recreate your partitions, and then restore your data tobasic disk.


27/50


Creating Volume

Dynamic disks provide featurs that basic disk do not

provide

All volumes on dynamic disks are known as dynamic

volumes

Features are:-- Simple Volume

-- Spanned Volume

-- Striped Volume


28/50


Simple Volume

Contains space on a single disk

Can be reated only on dynamic disks

Has fewer restrictions tan a basic disk partition

Can use the NTFS, FAT, or FAT32 file system

Can be extended if formatted with NTFS


29/50


Create a Simple Volume

There are two methods:

Create an a Simple Volume by using Disk

Management

Create a Simple Volume by using Disk Part


30/50


Creating Simple Volume using DiskPart

Procedure

Open Command Prompt, and then type diskpart

At the diskpart prompt, type list disk

At the diskpart prompt, type create volume simple

size=n disk=n (where size=n is the size of the disk inmegabytes, and disk=n is the number of the disk).


31/50





32/50





33/50



At the diskpart prompt, type create volume simple

size=n disk=n (where size=n is the size of the disk in

megabytes, and disk=n is the number of the disk


34/50


Extended Volume

Created by extending onto unallocated space on the

same disk or a different disk

Must be unformatted or formatted with a version of

NTFS

To make additional space without reconfiguring harddisk, you can add space to an existing volume on hard

disk


35/50


Spanned Volume

It is a simple volume that allows to create a single

logical volume based on unallocated space in other

dynamic disks

The storage space can be used more efficiently

It can be created only using the NTFS file system It doest offers fault tolerance

If one of the disk that contains a spanned volume

fails, the entire volume fails and all the data is lost


36/50


Creating a Spanned Volume

Creating an Extended or Spanned Volume using Disk

Management


Right-click the simple or spanned volume you want

to extend, click Extend Volume, and then follow theinstructions


37/50


Creating a Spanned Volume

Creating an Extended or Spanned Volume using

DiskPart


At the diskpart prompt, type list volume

At the diskpart prompt, type select volume n )where nis the basic volume that you want to extend into

contiguous, empty space on the same disk)

At the diskpart prompt, type extend size=o (where o

is the size of he extended partition in megabytes).

39/50



DiskPart

At the diskpart prompt, type list volume


40/50



DiskPart

At the diskpart prompt, type select volume n )where n is

the basic volume that you want to extend into

contiguous, empty space on the same disk)


41/50



DiskPart

At the diskpart prompt, type extend size=o (where o is

the size of he extended partition in megabytes).


42/50


Striped Volume

It stores data on two or more physical disks by

comnbining area of free space into one logical

volume on a dynamic disk.

Striped Volumes also known as RAID 0

Striped Volumes is used when:-- Read from or write to large databases.

-- Load program images, dynamic-link libraries

(DLLs), or run-time linraries.

-- Want to provide the best performance for high

usage files


43/50


Creating Striped Volumes

Procedure for creating a striped volume using DiskPart



At the diskpart prompt, type create volume stripe

size=n disk=n (where size=n is the size of the disk inmegabytes, and disk=n are the numbers of the disks

you are striping).


44/50


Procedure for creating a striped volume using

DiskPart



45/50



DiskPart



46/50



DiskPart

At the diskpart prompt, type create volume stripe size=n

disk=n (where size=n is the size of the disk inmegabytes, and disk=n are the numbers of the disksyou are striping).

Importing a Disk

Move a disk from another system or within the same

system by importing it.

After it is imported, Disk Management refers to it as

Foreign Disk


48/50


Foreign Disk

A dynamic disk when moved to a local computer

from another computer running:

-- Windows 2000

-- Windows XP Professional

-- Windows XP 64-Bit Edition

-- Windows 2003 Family

A disk moved within the same system, in some cases.

A disk moved from a disk group to another computerthat contains its own disk group can be displayed as a

foreign disk


49/50


Offline Disk

Offline disk is a status found in Disk Management

A dynamic disk can be offline if corrupted or

intermittently unavailable

A forgein disk that fails is always offline

Reactivivate a dynamic or forgein disk to bring itback online.
