convert
You can use several commands to convert disks. The format and options
for each of the commands are:
convert mbr
convert gpt
convert dynamic
convert basic
convert mbr
sets the partitioning style of the current disk to master boot
record (MBR). The disk can be a basic disk or a dynamic disk but the disk
must not contain any valid data partitions or volumes.
convert gpt
sets the partitioning style of the current disk to GPT. The disk
may be a basic or a dynamic disk but it must not contain any valid data
partitions or volumes. This command is valid only on Itanium
™
-based
computers; it can be unsuccessful on x-86-based computers.
convert dynamic
changes a basic disk into a dynamic disk. The disk can
contain valid data partitions.
convert basic
changes an empty dynamic disk to basic.
list
You can use several commands to display summaries of disk configuration.
The format for each of the commands is:
list disk
list partition
list volume
list disk
displays summary information about each disk in the computer.
The disk with the asterisk (*) has the current focus. Only fixed disks (for
example, IDE or SCSI) or removable disks (for example, 1394 or USB) are
listed. The removable drives are not displayed.
list partition
displays information about each partition on the in-focus disk.
list volume
displays information about each volume in the computer.
Using DiskPart with clustering
To expand a volume, you first need to add free space at the end of the volume that
you want to expand. This free space is now directly behind the existing volume that
is to be extended.
Verify which computer is the owner of the volume that you want to expand:
1. Open the IBM NAS Admin utility and select
Cluster Tools
→
Cluster
Administration
.
2. Select the group where the disk is located and see what computer is the
owner of the disks.
3. Shut down the other node. You can move all cluster resources to the other
server prior to this shutdown by right-clicking the group in the Cluster
Administrator and selecting
Move Group
.
