Adding Local Storage

{{ $t('productDocDetail.updateTime') }}: 2026-01-05

Description

HCI supports adding local storage of disks except for the node system disk or a logical disk after the disks on the server are formed into the RAID as the virtual machine's datastore.

Precautions

  1. Adding a disk to local storage will format the disk.
  2. Before adding local storage, you need to click Scan for New Disks and then click New.

Prerequisites

Free disks on the HCI node must be used for local storage, and the RAID card needs to be configured accordingly.

Steps

  1. Go to Storage > Other Datastores, click New, and select Local Storage.

  1. After selecting the local storage, select the disk to be added, click Next, configure the local storage name, and confirm.

  1. Fill in the storage name and description, then click OK.
