Add or delete a disk drive on a computer

Add or delete a disk drive on a computer

The build template defines the structure of the disk drives on a computer. For example, a computer might have two disk drives: a main disk with 30GB of space, and a second disk with 10GB. You can override the build template settings and define a different disk configuration for a computer. The new disk structure will take effect the next time the computer is built.

The details on the Disk Drives tab are detected automatically from the build template on the server and we recommend that you do not change them unless you have good reason to do so, for example to create a partition.

To override the disk settings in the build template

From the left-hand pane, expand Computers and choose All Computers.
From the right-hand pane, right-click the computer and from the menu, choose Properties.
Choose the Build tab.
Click the Advanced button. The Advanced Computer Build Settings window opens.
Choose the Disk Drives tab.
Tick the 'Override the disk settings...' box.

To add a disk drive

In the Disks section, click the Create button.
Specify the size of the new disk in gigabytes.
Click the Add Disk button.

To delete a disk drive

In the Disks section, select the required disk drive and then click Delete.
Click OK to confirm the deletion.
The disk drive is removed from the list.

Note

Computer properties are also available by selecting the computers and choosing in the toolbar, or from the File menu choosing Properties.
