Adding A Disk At Launch
When building or editing a system design, you have the option to add up to 10 additional disks up to 1 TB each. On some Windows systems, there are only 8 additional disks available. At run time, the disks specified in each system design are automatically formatted and mounted to each of your run hosts.
On most Linux hosts, mount points are:
/cons3rt_disk1
/cons3rt_disk2
/cons3rt_disk3
/cons3rt_disk4
/cons3rt_disk5
/cons3rt_disk6
/cons3rt_disk7
/cons3rt_disk8
/cons3rt_disk9
/cons3rt_disk10
Windows disk mount points:
- On most Windows hosts only 8 disks are permitted and disks are mounted at the following drive letters:
T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z
- Windows 2012 in AWS can use all 10 disks, and uses:
D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, and M
