We have an old server we're needing to virtualize, and one thing we need is a lot more storage. We have around 3.25 TB available for this machine (250 GB for OS and 3 TB for Data drives), but I'm going around in circles trying to figure out the best approach for this server. It's not feasible to split the data between multiple drives because of the way the files are indexed. I've created one VM with 2 TB drive space (for the OS and Data drives) and added 1.25 TB drive space that I'd like to add to the Data drive, but it doesn't seem possible to add the 1.25 TB without destroying the data on the first 2 TB drive. What is the best approach? Create a single drive for my VM that's 250 GB, and then add in two separate 1.5 TB drives for storage and combine them within Windows?
Thanks for your suggestions.
