PVS vDisk extension results in windows boot manager failure
Situation:
Our C: drive on a test PVS image (Private mode acccess) was nearly full
We extended the vDisk following this process
- Open Cmd Prompt
- diskpart
- Select vDisk file=”Path to your PVS vDisk”
- List vDisk
- expand vDisk maximum=xxxxx (in Mb) (61440 for 60GB etc)
- attach vDisk
- list Disk
- list volume
- Select volume x
- extend
- List volume
- detach vDisk
- exit
After detattching and booting the Test PVS Server windows wouldn’t boot with a System volume couldnt be accessed
Solution:
Repeat steps 3,6 and 12 to reattach the disk and deattach the vdisk cleanly then boot the VM.
