Disk partition

[Stephen Drotar]

Hi,




Yes on same disk

But when I run the vm it only allocates 47GB of pool instances and I need more then that.

If I use the hard drive space to create the pool this process crashes the system because it wants to use the entire disk free space


I need direct access for each vm

your thoughts,

cheers,

Steve
