Azure storage accounts
Thank you for your response!
What I'm looking to accomplish is purchasing one managed disk and creating multiple drives from it. For example I will purchase 1TB managed disk and split it down to 😧 250GB E:250GB F: 250GB etc.
Hi DigitalNomad920,
You will have one managed Disk only assigned to one virtual machine with one driveletter.
So you can not build one managed Disk and attach it to a VM with several partitions and driveletters on it.
For this scenario you will need a managed disk for each partition you want.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards, Peter
Hi Peter,
Since we are on the discussion of storage, I'm currently pricing the DR environment with only one 4TB managed disk for storage. Is this correct?
Hi DigitalNomad920,
Yes, max size for managed disks is currently limited to 4TB.
Maybe a Storage Account is a Solution for you instead of a managed disk.
But this means limitations in IOPS and due to this maybe also performance, it depends as always on what you want to do with this Discs.
When you want to be save to use the right performance for each partition, use managed disks.
Kind Regards, Peter
Hi Peter,
Very helpful thanks. Is there any type of other storage I can use to accomplish this?
