<h4 id="rzahqlstpi">Link a disk drive to an integrated server</h4>
|
||
|
|
<p>In order for an integrated Windows server to recognize an integrated server
|
||
|
|
disk drive (network server storage space) as a hard disk drive, you must link
|
||
|
|
the two together. You must create a disk drive before you can link it. See <a href="rzahqcstpi.htm#rzahqcstpi">Create an integrated server disk drive</a>. After you create and link a new integrated server disk
|
||
|
|
drive, it appears as a new hard disk drive to the integrated server. Then
|
||
|
|
you must format it before you can use it. See <a href="rzahqfstpi.htm#rzahqfstpi">Format integrated server disk drives</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To link a disk drive to an integrated server, follow these steps:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ol type="1">
|
||
|
|
<li>If you are not linking a disk drive dynamically, then shut down your integrated
|
||
|
|
server. See <a href="rzahqstartnstop.htm#rzahqstartnstop">Start and stop an integrated server</a>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />In iSeries™ Navigator, select <span class="bold">Integrated Server
|
||
|
|
Administration</span> —> <span class="bold">All Virtual Disks</span>.<img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Right-click an available disk drive and select <span class="bold">Add Link</span>, or select the drive and click the appropriate icon on the iSeries Navigator
|
||
|
|
toolbar.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Select the server you want to link the disk to.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Select one of the available link types and the link sequence position.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />If you are linking the disk to an iSCSI attached server, select
|
||
|
|
one of the available storage paths.<img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Select one of the available data access types.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Click <span class="bold">OK</span>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If you are not linking a disk drive dynamically, then start your integrated
|
||
|
|
server. See <a href="rzahqstartnstop.htm#rzahqstartnstop">Start and stop an integrated server</a>.</li></ol>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you want to use the CL command, see <a href="../cl/addnwsstgl.htm">ADDNWSSTGL</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If the disk drive is new and has not previously been formatted, refer to <a href="rzahqfstpi.htm#rzahqfstpi">Format integrated server disk drives</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Manage disk drives when running out of drive letters:</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The maximum number of disk drives that can be linked to an integrated server
|
||
|
|
is greater than the number of drive letters that are available on Windows.
|
||
|
|
Since not all drives will have a drive letter, other options must be used
|
||
|
|
to utilize all storage linked to the server. Here are two options to utilize
|
||
|
|
all disk drives which are linked to a server.</p>
|
||
|
|
<ol type="1">
|
||
|
|
<li>A disk drive letter can be made up of multiple disk drives using a spanned
|
||
|
|
volume set.
|
||
|
|
<a name="wq299"></a>
|
||
|
|
<div class="notetitle" id="wq299">Note:</div><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />
|
||
|
|
<div class="notebody">When you create a volume set, all of
|
||
|
|
the existing data on the partitions that you use for the new volume set is
|
||
|
|
erased. You should consider volume sets while you are setting up your server.</div><img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" />
|
||
|
|
<ol type="a">
|
||
|
|
<li>From <span class="bold">Disk Management</span>, right-click each disk drive
|
||
|
|
number and select <span class="bold">Upgrade to Dynamic Disk...</span> from pop-up
|
||
|
|
menu.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Right-click a disk drive partition and select <span class="bold">Create
|
||
|
|
Volume...</span> from pop-up menu.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Follow the create volume wizard to create a spanned volume, making sure
|
||
|
|
to add the multiple disks. Note: This feature is nice because if the volume
|
||
|
|
gets full, a disk can be dynamically added, and it will be immediately joined
|
||
|
|
to the spanned volume without ever requiring to reboot the server.</li></ol></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>A disk drive can be mounted over a subdirectory of an existing disk drive
|
||
|
|
letter.
|
||
|
|
<ol type="a">
|
||
|
|
<li>Create a directory on a disk drive letter that is formatted with NTFS.
|
||
|
|
For example, MD C:\MOUNT1.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>From <span class="bold">Disk Management</span>, click over disk drive partition
|
||
|
|
you want to format and select <span class="bold">Format</span> from the pop-up
|
||
|
|
menu.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Once drive is formatted, right-click over disk drive partition again and
|
||
|
|
select <span class="bold">Change Drive Letter and Path...</span> from pop-up menu.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Select <span class="bold">Add</span>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Select radio button <span class="bold">Mount in this NTFS folder:</span></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Use <span class="bold">Browse</span> button to find directory C:\MOUNT1 that
|
||
|
|
was created in step 1.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Click <span class="bold">OK</span> to make that directory a mount point for
|
||
|
|
this disk drive.</li></ol></li></ol>
