Use Windows disk management programs with integrated Windows servers

You can use the Windows Disk Management program to administer your disk drives (network server storage spaces), just as if they were individual physical disk drives. Features such as assigning drive letters, partitioning, and volume set creation are fully functional.

When using Windows disk management programs, consider the following:

• When you link disk drives, you can assign relative sequence positions for the drives or have i5/OS™ do it automatically.
• Unless you use Windows Disk Management to assign the optical drive letter, the optical drive appears as the next available drive letter after all disk drives on the integrated server. If no user-defined disk drives are linked to your NWSD, the optical drive typically appears as drive E.
