Disk Management Figure 38: Disk Management utility Note: When the Disk Management utility is accessed, the Remote Desktop connection assumes a dedicated mode and can only be used to manage disks and volumes on the server. Navigating to another page during an open session closes the session. Note: It may take a few moments for the Remote Desktop Connection session to log off when closing Disk Management. Guidelines for Managing Disks When managing disks and volumes: ■ Read the online Help found in the WebUI. ■ Do not alter the Operating System Disk Labeled Local Disk C:. ■ Do not alter the disk labeled "DON'T ERASE." ■ The use of software RAID-based dynamic volumes is not recommended; use the array controller instead, it is more efficient. ■ The largest disk that Windows Storage Server 2003 can accommodate from a storage system is 2 TB. ■ It is not recommended to span array controllers with dynamic volumes. ■ Use meaningful volume labels with the intended drive letter embedded in the volume label, if possible. For example, volume e: might be named "Disk E:." Volume labels often serve as the only means of identification. ■ Record all volume labels and drive letters in case of system Quick Restore. See "Managing Disks After Quick Restore" later in this chapter. 76 NAS 4000s and 9000s Administration Guide
