• You can initialize disks, create volumes, and format volumes with the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS file systems using
Disk Management.
• Disk Management enables you to perform most disk-related tasks without restarting the system or interrupting
users.
Extending A Volume
You can add more space to existing primary partitions and logical drives by extending them into adjacent un-allocated
space on the same disk. To extend a basic volume, it must be raw or formatted with the NTFS file system.
Extending A Basic Volume Using The Windows Interface
NOTE: If you do not have un-allocated space in your disk, use Dell OpenManage Server Administrator to extend
your LUN before you extend your volume.
