How To Add A New Hard Disk To Windows Nano Server 2016 Physical Server

In this article, I’ll show you how I add a new physical hard Disk to my Windows Nano Server 2016 Hyper-V Host.

The first step, Is to add the new physical disk to my Nano Sever.

Next, I’ll need to connect to my Nano Server using Remote PowerShell:

Once connected I’ll use the cmdlet below to view all disks Including the new disk:

Get-disk

My new disk Is disk Number 0

Next, I’ll clear all the data from the new Disk using the cmdlet:

Clear-Disk 0 -RemoveData

To view all partitions on the Server I type:

Get-Partition

Once the Disk Is cleared, I’ll Initialize the Disk using:

Initialize-Disk -Number 0

And I’ll create a new partition using:

New-Partition -DiskNumber 0 -UseMaximumSize -AssignDriveLetter

Next, I’ll format the disk using:

Format-Volume -DriveLetter g

Done

To view all the new volumes I use:

Get-volume
