Since some customers ' business systems run on 2003 for many years, even after migrating to virtualization, still do not want to replace the operating system, Windows 2003 is not as easy as 2008 or 2012 of the operating system on the expansion of the disk, the direct expansion of the volume point two under the mouse can be.

I saw some friends in the morning. Article on how to increase the partition capacity after the expansion of virtual disk for Windows 2003 virtual machine, I also deliberately wrote the following several ways to summarize.

An experimental environment was built to demonstrate several methods:

Windows 2003 operating system, this virtual machine has a total of 4 hard disks, respectively, for 3 experimental tests

1. Use the DiskPart command to expand the disk 1 demo

Disk 1: Partition E, after expanding the size of the virtual machine disk, rescan the disk in the operating system to see the disk has unallocated space

2. The Disk 0 expansion demo using the Dell Basic disk Expansiona Tool

Disk 0: Operating system disk C, after expanding the disk size of the virtual machine, rescan the disk in the operating system to see the disk has unallocated space

3. Use dynamic disk to integrate the capacity of disk 2 and disk 3 to demonstrate

Disk 2: Make dynamic disk use

Disk 3: Make dynamic disk use

--------------------------extend the partition with the DiskPart command--------------------------

In the cmd Command window, enter the DiskPart command and enter List Vol to view the current volume condition.

Use SELECT Vol e: Select

Then enter extend to expand the partition, and the speed will be expanded quickly.

--------------------------Use the Dell Basic Disk expansion Tool--------------------------

Copy the tool folder to the C-packing directory (where it can be anywhere else), and under CMD, enter the directory.

Execute Extpart.ext c:9216 (indicates 9126MB size for C partition)

After the extension is complete, the remaining capacity of the entire disk 0 is divided into the C drive.

--------------------------a dynamic disk-based partition extension--------------------------

This extension relies on the dynamic disk capabilities of Windows. After initializing disk 2, select Disk 2, convert to a State disk (if the original disk in the production environment is a basic volume to be converted to a dynamic volume is also possible, but will be converted to unmount the disk operation, it is recommended to stop the business and then proceed. )

650) this.width=650; "title=" clip_image018 "style=" border-right-width:0px;background-image:none; border-bottom-width:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-left:0px;margin:0px;padding-right:0px;border-top-width:0px; " alt= "clip_image018" src= "http://s3.51cto.com/wyfs02/M01/80/1A/wKiom1c3yYfQfjigAADBqDyThiA807.jpg" border= "0" height= "342" width= "559"/>

After the conversion succeeds, change the disk to dynamic

Then create partition f (create process slightly)

650) this.width=650; "title=" clip_image022 "style=" border-right-width:0px;background-image:none; border-bottom-width:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-left:0px;margin:0px;padding-right:0px;border-top-width:0px; " alt= "clip_image022" src= "http://s3.51cto.com/wyfs02/M02/80/1A/wKiom1c3yYqRX2EVAABY6nL8Yk4647.jpg" border= "0" height= "189" width= "554"/>

Next, we will initialize disk 3 and convert it into a dynamic disk so that we can expand the space of disk 3 into the F partition.

650) this.width=650; "title=" clip_image024 "style=" border-right-width:0px;background-image:none; border-bottom-width:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-left:0px;margin:0px;padding-right:0px;border-top-width:0px; " alt= "clip_image024" src= "http://s3.51cto.com/wyfs02/M02/80/17/wKioL1c3ynDS7xquAAAwdiwOtO4273.jpg" border= "0" height= "width=" "553"/>

After disk 3 is turned into dynamic, right-click the f partition and select the extended volume

Select disk 3, click Add to Right

Partition size of disk F becomes the sum of capacity of two disks

Finally, summarize several ways:

For the partitioning tool that uses DiskPart and Dell, it is certainly the first recommendation, and the advantage is that you can scale directly without having to stop working on the partition, and there is no problem.

The way to dynamic volumes is fast but there is a problem, the dynamic disk is controlled by the operating system, if the operating system out of the virus or other failures, causing the failure to start, then the data in the disk is difficult to read.

PS : I am in the virtualized environment of the customer, the virtual machine is C Disk separate a virtual disk, do not know how you do.
