Add more volumes for containers

If the disk volume i.e. F:\ is 500 gB and archival jobs have allready consumed the entire volume, what is the way to add more volumes to EX i.e. future archival jobs get directed to another disk volume say G:\.

Hi Anuj,

no, container partitions cannot be split. Sizing the initial EX server is therefore paramount.

When stopping all EX services, you could move everything to a new partition... but drive letters before (old small partition) and the new big one have to be identical afterwards (I would even close all containers beforehand). Don't just move the info to a new partition and change the registry (this will not work as such).

Another option would be the usage of DiskXtender...

Hope this helps initially.
Regards, Jochen.

Option using diskXtender helps EMC get more revenue but I think they should seriously look into geving the option to add more partitions in some next release.

Hi Anuj,

You always can raise RFE for any of your requests, but then it will be up to product management to decide if its feasible or not.

PM might have to check pros and cons before deciding any action regarding product.
