Disk Management
This document details information and the steps necessary to configure the hard drives on your
system for use in a RAID configuration and how to use the Disk Management utility to manage
your disks, volumes, and physical hard drives. It also provides information about reconfiguring
your system in the event of a hard drive failure.
NOTE: Dell recommends the use of mirrored volumes (also referred to as RAID 1) for your operating
system and data. For more information on the Disk Management utility or operating system software
RAID, see the Microsoft online help at support.microsoft.com. Additional information about your
operating system can also be found at support.dell.com.
Using the Disk Management Utility to Manage Your Disks
and Volumes
Microsoft Windows Server™ 2003 features the Disk Management utility, which enables you
to configure your storage devices and the logical volumes contained in your system. The Disk
Management utility displays storage configuration in list and graphical views. The list view shows a
list of all the physical devices and their properties. The graphical view shows your storage as logical
volumes. Each view provides menus of commands for configuring and managing your
system storage.
Basic and Dynamic Disk Storage
Disks
are defined as any storage unit presented to Windows Server 2003 as a single contiguous
block of storage. Disks can be configured as either basic or dynamic in the Windows Server 2003
operating system.
Basic disks
employ traditional disk partitioning used by the MS-DOS
®
, Microsoft Windows
®
95,
Windows 98, and Windows NT
®
4.0 operating systems. A basic disk can have up to four primary
partitions, or three primary partitions plus an extended partition, that can be subdivided into a
number of logical drives. The partitions and logical drives on a hard drive comprise logical volumes
that can be formatted with a file system and accessed by a drive letter. Logical volumes on a basic
disk are called
basic volumes
.
Dynamic disks
are units of storage that span multiple physical disks, but are configured as a
single contiguous block of storage. Storage on a dynamic disk is divided into volumes instead
of partitions, and these volumes, like dynamic disks, can span multiple disks to make
dynamic volumes
.
To use your disk storage in a fault-tolerant RAID configuration in Windows Server 2003,
you must configure your storage as dynamic disks with dynamic volumes.

Launching the Disk Management Utility
From the desktop:
1
Click
Start
→
Administrative Tools
→
Computer Management.
2
In the left pane, click
Disk Management.
The Disk Management console displays a volume list in the top right pane and a graphical view
in the bottom right pane. The volume list displays all volumes in the system and their properties.
The graphical view displays the disk’s name, type, size, and status and the volume’s name,
file system type, size, and status.
Managing Disks
This section provides conceptual and procedural information about how the Disk Management
utility implements basic and dynamic disks.
The following topics are discussed:
• Upgrading a basic disk to a dynamic disk
• Reactivating dynamic disks
• Importing foreign disks
Upgrading a Basic Disk to a Dynamic Disk
To upgrade a basic disk to a dynamic disk, perform the following steps:
1
Launch the Disk Management utility.
2
In the graphical view pane (lower right pane), right-click the disk you want to upgrade
and click

Working With Mirrors
A mirrored volume duplicates your data to two physical disks. A mirror provides redundancy by
simultaneously writing the same data to two separate volumes that reside on different disks. If one
of the disks fails, data continues to be written to and read from the unaffected disk. This section
discusses how to add, remove, or break a mirror.
Adding a Mirror
1
Launch the Disk Management utility.
2
In the graphical view pane, right-click the volume you want to add a mirror to and
click
Add Mirror
.

Select the disk you want to use to create the mirror and click
Add Mirror
.
Removing a Mirror
Removing a mirror from a volume removes or destroys the data from the selected mirror and
leaves the other mirror intact. After you remove a mirror, the space on the disk used by the
removed mirrored volume becomes unallocated space. The remaining volume becomes a simple
volume on the disk.
To remove a mirror, perform the following steps:
1
Launch the Disk Management utility.
2
In the graphical view pane, right-click the volume from which you want to remove the mirror
and click
Remove Mirror
.

Breaking a Mirror
Breaking a mirror creates two simple volumes with individual drive letters. Each volume contains
the data on the mirror at the time the mirror was broken. The data is no longer redundant,
but it remains intact.
To break a mirror, perform the following steps:
1
Launch the Disk Management utility.
2
In the graphical view pane, right-click the volume for which you want to break the mirror,
and click
Break Mirrored Volume.

Best Practices
This section describes best practices and Dell recommendations for the disk storage configuration
on your system.
• Dell recommends that you configure your system disks as dynamic disks and create separate
RAID 1 volumes for your operating system and data.
• Dell recommends that you create a 12-GB volume for the Windows Server 2003 operating system.
Operating System Software RAID Configuration Example
For a Dell system with two hard disks, you can configure your operating system and data to be
fault-tolerant by adding a mirror to your operating system volume and creating a RAID 1 data volume.
To convert your disks from basic to dynamic:
1
Launch the Disk Management utility.
2
Right-click on
Disk 0
and click
Convert to Dynamic Disk.
The system displays a list of all available disks that can be converted to dynamic
and pre-selects
Disk 0.
3
Select
Disk 1,
so that both
Disk 0
and
Disk 1
are selected and click
OK.
A window labeled
Disks to convert
appears.
4
Click
Convert
→
Yes
→
Yes.
A restart window appears.
5
Click
OK.
The system restarts.
6
Log in to the system.
A
System Settings Change
window appears.
7
Click
Yes.
The system restarts.
NOTE: If a boot volume is selected, two reboots will be required after the disk conversion.
Converting a non-boot volume does not require a system reboot.
NOTICE: After a disk is converted to dynamic, it cannot be converted back to basic unless all volumes
on that disk are removed. Dell recommends that you do not convert a disk back to basic once data
volumes are present as all data would be lost.
10 Software RAID with Microsoft Disk Management
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
Use the following procedure to add a mirror to your operating system partition:
NOTICE: If in Disk 0 there are any number of partitions in the graphical layout to the left of the operating
system volume, format an equal number of 1-MB partitions (in Disk 1) prior to adding a mirror of the
operating system volume. This will ensure that you will be able to boot from your mirrored operating
system volume if your primary operating system volume (Disk 0) fails. For more information on booting
from a mirrored operating system volume, see the Microsoft online help at support.microsoft.com.
1
Log in to the system.
2
Launch the Disk Management utility.
3
Right-click the operating system volume and click
Add Mirror.
4
Select
Disk 1
to use to create the mirror, and click
Add Mirror.
Your operating system volume starts synchronizing. On completion, your operating system volume
will be fault-tolerant.
NOTE: If a power failure occurs or you reboot your system while a volume is synchronizing after adding
a mirror, the mirror will be lost and your volume will not be fault-tolerant. Always ensure that the
synchronizing process completes after adding a mirror and that the status of the volume is
displayed as Healthy.
NOTE: During synchronizing of the operating system or data drives, the overall performance
of the system may decrease.
To create a RAID 1 data volume:
1
Right-click
Disk 0
and select
New Volume.
The
New Volume Wizard
appears.
2
Click
Next.
3
Select
Mirrored Volume
4
Click
Next.
You are prompted to use the dynamic disks and create the volume size.
5
Select
Disk 1
and click
Add.
6
Click
Next.
7
Click
Assign a drive letter,
select the drive letter, and click
Next.
8
Ensure that
Format this volume
and
NTFS
are selected.
9
Enter a volume label.
10
Select
Perform a quick format
.
11
Click
Next
→
Finish.
Your new volume automatically formats and synchronizes. On completion your volume
will be fault-tolerant and the status of the volume will be displayed as
Healthy
.
NOTE: During synchronizing of the operating system or data drives, the overall performance
of the system may decrease.

提供了磁盘管理公用程序，使您能够对包含在系统中的存储
设备和逻辑卷进行配置。磁盘管理公用程序将存储配置显示在列表视图和图形视图中。列表
视图显示所有物理设备及其属性的列表。图形视图将存储显示为逻辑卷。每种视图都提供用
于配置和管理系统存储的命令菜单。
基本和动态磁盘存储
磁盘定义为任何作为单个连续存储块显示给
Windows Server 2003
的存储设备。
在
Windows Server 2003
操作系统中，可以将磁盘配置为基本或动态磁盘。
基本磁盘利用
MS-DOS
®
、
Microsoft Windows
®
95
、
Windows 98
和
Windows NT
®
4.0
操作系
统所使用的传统磁盘分区。一个基本磁盘可以有多达四个主分区，或三个主分区和一个扩展
分区，而扩展分区可以再分为多个逻辑驱动器。硬盘驱动器上的分区和逻辑驱动器包含逻辑
卷，这些逻辑卷可以用文件系统进行格式化并通过驱动器号来访问。基本磁盘上的逻辑卷称
为基本卷。
动态磁盘是跨越多个物理磁盘、但配置为单个连续存储块的存储设备，动态磁盘上的存储被
划分为卷而不是分区，并且这些卷象动态磁盘一样，可以跨越多个磁盘构成动态卷。
要使用
