Dell DL4000 Appliance Deployment Guide

Creating Windows and RASR virtual disk(s)

1. Select the following virtual disks:
   1. Windows Backup virtual disk
      CAUTION: If you skipped this option in the AppAssure Appliance Configuration Wizard, you will not be able to create a Windows Server backup and configure a backup policy.

      Windows backup virtual disk provides the target space to create Windows Server backups. A disk space of 75 GB is allocated by default for the Windows backup VD that is created and you cannot increase the size of the Windows backup VD. Overtime, the data that is backed up may exceed 75 GB and if it does, you will not be able to perform backup or configure backup policy on the Backup page and an out of capacity error is displayed. In this case, the Windows backup can be reconfigured to a network share or to another disk volume on the Dl Appliance. For more information, see Configure a Scheduled Shared Network Drive Backup Policy section in Recovering a Dell DL Backup and Recovery Appliance using Rapid Appliance Self Recovery (RASR) at https://www.dell.com/support.

      Bootable RASR virtual disk provides a redundant recovery volume to perform a RASR recovery. You can reboot to the redundant recovery volume by pressing< F8> during POST. After rebooting, follow the steps in Executing RASR.
