Chapter 9. Adding A New Hard Disk; Selecting A Hard Disk; Creating A New Partition - ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE SERVER 8.0-LINUX User Manual

Adding a new hard disk
Chapter 9.
If you don't have enough space for your data (e.g. family photos and videos), 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 cloning, addition and replacement operations are not available for mounted disks. In
such cases, you will need to run Acronis True Image Server 8.0 for Linux from a rescue CD.
9.1

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.
9.2

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.
