[Hyper-v] Storage Hot-Add rocks!!
October 9th, 2009
I was in the middle of the setup of SCVMM 2008 R2 on a lab environment and got to the point that I needed to configure the Library Share Settings. I wanted the Library to be on a separate physical drive (1TB SATA drive) but it was really annoying to shutdown the VM, add the drive, map the drive to the VM and turn it on again…
Enlightened, I realized that I was running Hyper-V R2 and I had Storage Hot-Add feature ready to be tested!!! Well, it went pretty well I must tell, in 3 minutes I was continuing with my wizard without even closing it! thanks, thanks…
- Hot-add a 1TB SATA drive to my box
- Hot-add the Offline drive to my VM a an SCSI disk
- Add the volume on my VM and we are done!
