Microsoft Hyper-V - Storage

The Storage panel lets you specify storage settings, such as disk size and storage key, that are appropriate for the new virtual machine (VM).

Under Virtual Disk, click Add to display the Virtual Disk Settings dialog box, select a server from the drop-down list and specify the following:

• Size—Enter a disk size, in GB.

• Storage—Browse to select a storage location.

  Note

  The Storage option is required only if you want to place the disk in another storage location (not in the VM storage).

• Thin Provisioning—Use this option if you want to dynamically allocate storage by using VMware vStorage Thin Provisioning. In this format, the system dynamically consumes the space for the physical disk; space is allocated and expanded on demand whenever the guest OS requests space. For example, if you create an 80 GB disk but only use 20 GB of that disk, the actual disk consumption on the physical drives is 20 GB.
• Interface Type—Select the interface type from the drop-down list.
