§ Replace all volumes: All existing volumes on the target disk will be deleted, and the entire disk
space (including the currently unallocated space) will be available for the volume you are
deploying.
§ Replace volume: Only the volume with the selected number will be deleted. If the target disk
contains only one volume, the entire disk space (including the currently unallocated space) will
be available for the volume you are deploying. Otherwise, only the space that was occupied by
the selected volume will be available for the volume you are deploying; currently unallocated
space will remain unallocated.
Note: The active volume of the target disk will remain active. Even if you deploy an active volume side by
side with an already present active volume, the newly deployed volume will not become active. Therefore,
you need to deploy an active volume to an active volume if you want to boot from the deployed volume.
Tip: To deploy a single volume to unallocated space or bare metal, first create a target volume of a desired
size by using a third-party partitioning tool, such as Microsoft Disk Management or Acronis Disk Director.
In either case, the size of the deployed volume will depend on the setting in Disk space utilization (p.
86).
The When deploying a single volume setting is not effective when you deploy multiple volumes. In
this case, all existing volumes on the target disk are always deleted, and the entire disk space is
available for the volumes.
Disk space utilization
This setting determines whether to change the size of the volumes you are deploying according to
the available space on the target disk. The available space depends on the size of the target disk and
on whether you selected to replace all volumes or only a particular volume (see the Target disk
layout (p. 85) setting).
The preset is: Resize volumes to fit target disk
The settings are the following:
§ Resize volumes to fit target disk: The software will proportionally extend or reduce each of the
deployed volumes according to the available space on the target disk.
The following examples assume that you have a 300-GB target disk that already contains two
volumes: the first volume is 50 GB in size, and the second volume is 250 GB in size.
Example 1. You are deploying a single 100-GB volume. In Target disk layout, you selected to
replace all volumes on the target disk. In this case, the size of the deployed volume will be
300 GB.
Example 2. You are deploying a single 100-GB volume. In Target disk layout, you selected to
replace the second (250-GB) volume on the target disk. In this case, the size of the deployed
volume will be 250 GB. The first volume on the target disk will remain intact.
Example 3. You are deploying two 50-GB volumes. Because you are deploying more than one
volume, all volumes on the target disk will be deleted; see “Target disk layout” (p. 85). Each
of the deployed volumes will be 150 GB in size.
Example 4. You are deploying a 10-GB volume and a 20-GB volume. All volumes on the target
disk will be deleted. The deployed volumes will be 100 GB and 200 GB in size, respectively.
Example 5. You are deploying a 1000-GB volume and a 2000-GB volume, both of which
contain little data. All volumes on the target disk will be deleted. The deployed volumes will
