5.4.10 Add a disk to the virtual server
Function
This component adds a disk to the virtual server in the Hyper-V environment.
Although a virtual disk (adjustable size or fixed size) can be added to the virtual server, a virtual disk (differential) and pass-through (physical) disk cannot be added.
A virtual disk file is newly created.
The virtual disk can be added to the SCSI controller, but it cannot be added to the IDE controller.
The following servers are required for this component:
- Hyper-V server (Execution target server)
This is the server where Hyper-V is installed.
- Virtual server
This is a virtual server managed by Hyper-V.
Use situation
This component can be used to add a data disk to a virtual server: for example, when building a new virtual server or expanding a disk.
Prerequisites
For the latest support information about [Required product in the System]/[Required products on the execution target server]/[Prerequisite product OS running in the execution target server], see the release notes.
[Required product in the System]
JP1/Automatic Operation 11-00 or later
[Required products on the execution target server]
(1)Prerequisite product of Hyper-V Server
- Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V
(2)Prerequisite OS running in the virtual servers
- Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard/Enterprise/Datacenter
This does not apply to Server Core installation environments.
[Prerequisite product OS running in the execution target server]
- Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard/Enterprise/Datacenter
This does not apply to Server Core installation environments.
[Usage conditions for required products on the execution target server]
(1) The virtual server name must be unique within the Hyper-V server.
(2) The virtual server must be in a completely stopped state.
(3) A SCSI controller must be in the virtual server.
Cautions
(1) The virtual disk added to the virtual server is not initialized. If necessary, log into the OS of the virtual server and perform initialization of the disk.
(2) Virtual disk files that were already created in the Hyper-V server cannot be added.
