Disks management from OS

Overview

Before modifying the disks of your VMs, remember to check that you have sufficient resources on your VDC.
Rappel : You can set autonomously the resources of your VDC from the customer area Cloudstore.

Warning!

If you have a Temporary need to increase the Storage Capacity of a VM, we advise you to add a new disk as you will be able to remove it later. It's not possible to reduce the size of a disc.

The size of a "vmdk" file is limited to 2 TB..

If a VM needs more than 2TB of storage, you need to add several disks of 2TB max.
