Overview
After Cloud Virtual Machine is purchased or reinstalled, you need to partition and format the data disk. This document describes how to perform initialization operations such as partitioning and formatting data disks on a Windows Cloud Virtual Machine.
Notes
- Formatting the data disk will clear all data. Ensure that there is no data in the data disk or that important data has been backed up.
- To avoid service exceptions, ensure that the Cloud Virtual Machine has stopped external services before formatting.
Directions
Select the appropriate operation guide according to the disk capacity:
- If the disk capacity is less than 2TB, Initialize Cloud Block Storage (Windows).
- If the disk capacity is greater than or equal to 2 TB, Initialize Cloud Block Storage (Windows).
