Adding a new hard disk

Chapter 14. Adding a new hard disk

If you don't have enough space for your data, you can replace the old disk with a higher-

capacity one (data transfers to new disks are described in the previous chapter). But you

can also add a new disk only to store data, leaving the system on the old disk. If the server

has space for another disk, it would be easier to add it, then clone.

To add a new disk, you must first install it on your server.

Note that disk cloning and disk addition operations are not available for mounted disks. In

such cases, you will need to run Acronis True Image Server for Linux from a rescue CD.

14.1 Selecting a hard disk

Select the disk you've added to the server.

This window might be bypassed if the program detects the new disk itself. In that case, you will

immediately proceed to the New partition creation.

If there are any partitions on the new disk, they must be deleted first.

Select Delete partitions on the destination hard disk and click Next to continue.

14.2 Creating a new partition

At this step, you will see the current partition layout. Initially, all disk space will be

unallocated. This will change after you add partitions.
