Managing Virtual Disks
A virtual disk is created from a file that is specifically formatted to allow it to be mounted as if
it were a physical disk. The virtual disk file resides on a CoServer. You may create as many
virtual disks as required. For a virtual disk, you can:
• Manage it using the Windows Disk Management utility.
• Create, format, and delete partitions.
• Redirect it to the FTvirtual Server using the Device Redirector functions you use to
redirect a physical disk.
Virtual disks are managed from the Endurance Device Redirector. When the expanding the
CoServer Device tree for a specific CoServer, virtual disks are displayed and managed from the
Disk Drives branch.
