00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:03.639
In this video, we show you how to create a

00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:05.640
new empty hard disk and attach it

00:00:05.641 --> 00:00:08.400
to an existing VM.

00:00:08.401 --> 00:00:10.840

In the menu on the left, click on Storage

00:00:18.001 --> 00:00:21.560

00:00:21.561 --> 00:00:26.760
Click the green button and choose Create.

00:00:26.761 --> 00:00:28.960
Enter a name for the new

00:00:28.961 --> 00:00:31.599
hard disk.

00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:41.559
Change the type to Generic Storage

00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:44.559
Datablock.

00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.039
Scroll down and select Empty Disk

00:00:48.040 --> 00:00:50.079

Then click Create at the top.

00:01:01.760 --> 00:01:03.920
The disk will now be created. While this

00:01:03.921 --> 00:01:06.840
is in progress, the status will be ‘LOCKED’.

00:01:06.841 --> 00:01:09.600
Click Refresh to check whether the

00:01:09.601 --> 00:01:14.240
image status has changed to ‘READY’.

00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:17.720

00:01:23.921 --> 00:01:25.520
Click on the VM to which the disk

00:01:25.521 --> 00:01:27.400
should be attached and then

00:01:27.401 --> 00:01:31.280
go to the Storage section.

00:01:33.880 --> 00:01:37.920

00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:41.560

00:01:49.001 --> 00:01:51.880

Click Refresh to see whether the status

00:01:54.841 --> 00:01:58.719
changes back to ‘RUNNING’.

To verify that the disk has

00:02:01.080 --> 00:02:03.680
been successfully attached within the OS,

00:02:03.681 --> 00:02:06.680
open the VNC console.

00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:14.599
The new disk will appear as SDB.

00:02:14.600 --> 00:02:16.480
