Adding additional storage capacity

You can expand the storage space of a virtual machine at any time in the VDC Pro portal by either increasing the storage space of the existing hard disk or adding a new hard disk.

Please note, however, that hard disks can be expanded but not reduced in size.

As a starting point for both options, the corresponding "Device" must be opened in edit mode. You can do this with the "Edit Device" button.

You can then select "Hard disks" at the top right to open the correct section.

Use the "Edit" action on the corresponding disk to expand or delete it.

Either select to extend the disk only or extend the disk and the partition at the same time.

When extending the partition, we recommend to create a snapshot of the virtual machine beforehand. You can also use the option to automatically create a snapshot.

Add additional hard drive

Click on "Add New Hard Disk" and continue with the process.
