Azure storage accounts

Hi Guys,    I just wanted to confirm if you can create multiple drivers from one managed disk account on Azure?   This is related to Hosting and ASR. Do I need to pay for multiple account or can ...

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
