MANAGING DISK

STORAGE

Chapter 12

Chapter 12: MANAGING DISK STORAGE 2

CHAPTER OVERVIEW

• Understand disk-storage concepts and terminology • Distinguish between basic and dynamic storage • Identify the types of storage volumes supported on

Windows Server 2003 managed disks • Identify the best RAID implementation given a

particular storage requirement in terms of capacity utilization, fault tolerance, and performance • Add storage to a Windows Server 2003 computer • Manage disks using Check Disk, Disk Defragmenter,

and disk quotas

Chapter 12: MANAGING DISK STORAGE 3

UNDERSTANDING WINDOWS SERVER 2003 DISK STORAGE

• Disk - The physical device

• Partition - An area of the disk that functions as a physically separate unit of storage

(2)

USING BASIC STORAGE

• Supported by all versions of Windows and MS-DOS • The default storage type for Windows Server 2003 • Each disk is divided into partitions, which can be

either primary or extended

Chapter 12: MANAGING DISK STORAGE 5

USING DYNAMIC STORAGE

• Supported by Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003

• One disk, one partition

• Volumes are created within the partition • Supports spanning, striping, and RAID

implementations

Chapter 12: MANAGING DISK STORAGE 6

BASIC VS. DYNAMIC DISKS

• By default, all disks are basic.

• Basic disks can be easily converted to dynamic disks.

(3)

USING DISK MANAGEMENT

Chapter 12: MANAGING DISK STORAGE 8

ADDING STORAGE

• Physically install the disk(s). • Initialize the disk.

• On a basic disk, create partitions. On a dynamic disk, create volumes.

• Format the volumes.

• Assign drive letters to the volumes.

Chapter 12: MANAGING DISK STORAGE 9

INSTALLING A DISK

• Physically install the disk.

• Windows Server 2003 should recognize the new device automatically.

(4)

INITIALIZING THE DISK

• All disks must be initialized before they can be used.

• Initialization causes the MBR (basic disk) or GPT (dynamic disk) to be written.

• The Initialize And Convert Disk Wizard should launch automatically after a new disk is installed.

Chapter 12: MANAGING DISK STORAGE 11

CREATING BASIC DISK PARTITIONS

Chapter 12: MANAGING DISK STORAGE 12

CONVERTING A BASIC DISK TO A DYNAMIC DISK

• Make a backup before converting.

• Partitions and logical drives are converted to simple volumes.

(5)

CREATING DYNAMIC DISK VOLUMES

Chapter 12: MANAGING DISK STORAGE 14

CREATING SIMPLE VOLUMES

• A simple volume can be created from free space on a single disk.

• A simple volume can be extended using free space on the same disk, as long as it is not the system/ boot volume.

• To create a simple volume using the New Volume Wizard, in the Disk Management console, right-click unallocated space on a disk and select New Volume.

Chapter 12: MANAGING DISK STORAGE 15

CREATING OTHER VOLUME TYPES

• Spanned Uses space from multiple disks appearing as single volume

• Striped (RAID-0) Uses space from multiple disks appearing as single volume; data is written across all drives in the striped set at the same rate.

(6)

WORKING WITH MIRRORED VOLUMES

• Data is written to both drives simultaneously. • Can be used to provide fault tolerance to the

system/boot volume on a Windows Server 2003 system.

• Does not degrade performance.

Chapter 12: MANAGING DISK STORAGE 17

CONVERTING A SIMPLE VOLUME TO A MIRRORED VOLUME

• Only requirement is a drive with sufficient space to hold the mirrored data.

• Data is copied to the new drive sector by sector. • Drive’s status in the Disk Management console

shows as resynching while data is copied.

Chapter 12: MANAGING DISK STORAGE 18

(7)

WORKING WITH RAID

• Non-fault-tolerant RAID implementations

• RAID-0: Disk striping without parity

• Fault-tolerant RAID implementations

• RAID-1: Disk mirroring • RAID-5: Disk striping with parity

Chapter 12: MANAGING DISK STORAGE 20

ENABLING QUOTAS

• Quotas are enabled on a volume-by-volume basis • Exceptions to quotas can be configured on a

per-user basis

• Every file owned by a user counts toward her quota total

Chapter 12: MANAGING DISK STORAGE 29

CONFIGURING QUOTA DEFAULTS

• Set warning levels to alert users when they approach their quota limit.

• Set restrictions to prevent users from exceeding their quota limit.

• Logging related to quota events can be enabled.

Chapter 12: MANAGING DISK STORAGE 30

(11)

EXPORTING QUOTA ENTRIES

• Allows quota settings to be applied to another volume.

• Destination volume must be formatted with NTFS. • Only limits and configurations are exported, not the

current quota usage.

Chapter 12: MANAGING DISK STORAGE 32

MONITORING QUOTAS AND STORAGE

• Quota limits and percentage used can be viewed through the Quota Entries dialog box.

• The Quota Entries dialog box can be accessed by viewing a volume’s properties in Windows Explorer or Disk Management.

Chapter 12: MANAGING DISK STORAGE 33

SUMMARY

• Windows Server 2003 supports two types of storage, basic and dynamic, and three file systems, FAT, FAT32, and NTFS.

• Basic disks and the FAT file system provide back-ward compatibility with older Windows operating systems but are limited in their capabilities. • Dynamic disks provide flexible and powerful options

(12)

SUMMARY (continued)

• Basic disks can be converted to dynamic disks with no data loss, but all data and volumes must be deleted to convert a dynamic disk to a basic disk. • Dynamic disks support simple, spanned, striped, mirrored, and RAID-5 volumes, to provide storage according to capacity, performance, and fault tolerance requirements.

Chapter 12: MANAGING DISK STORAGE 35

SUMMARY (continued)

• Fault tolerance is provided by mirrored (RAID-1) volumes and striped-with-parity volumes (RAID-5). • Simple volumes, spanned volumes, striped volumes

(RAID-0), and all basic disk logical drives are not fault tolerant.

• You use the Disk Management snap-in to create and manage basic and dynamic disks.

Chapter 12: MANAGING DISK STORAGE 36

SUMMARY (continued)

• Disk volumes can become corrupted or fragmented and often fill to capacity. You can manage existing volumes using tools such as Check Disk, Disk Defragmenter, and Quota Manager.
