Adding Disks to Computers

CCM enables you to add up to a total of four disks. When you add a new disk, you must partition and format it before you can add another.

NOTE: The intent of working with multiple computers is to achieve identical results across a large number of computers and to avoid the necessity of entering identical information many times. To take advantage of this functionality you should choose computers with identical configurations when assigning partitioning and formatting jobs. For example, if you are adding a disk, make sure that all the computers you select have the same number of disks.

To add disks to computers:

  1. In the Scope pane, click <All Computers> to display the computers in the Result pane.

  2. In the Result pane select and right-click the computers.

  3. Select Configure Disks.

  4. In the Configure Disks: Multiple Computers dialog box, click the Disk Summary button and select Add Disk.

  5. Select the new Disk # tab, and right-click the Disk Summary button.

  6. Click Partition Disk.

  7. Partition and format the disk.
