Action
1. In the settings for your VM, select the IDE
controller where you want to add the physical
disk.
2. You also can create a new SCSI controller and
attach the physical disk to the SCSI controller.
However, because everything is virtual
performance difference does not exist between
the IDE and the SCSI controller. Use the SCSI
controller to attach more physical disks, if
needed. The IDE controller is limited to two
physical disks per controller. The boot disk
must be IDE.
3. Click Add.
4. In the New Virtual Hard Disk dialog, select the
options for VHD.
Dynamic expansion – The VHD file
grows as data is stored to the physical
disk with a maximum size not
exceeding the size specified during
creation. Select Dynamically
Expanding when creating a new virtual
machine using the new Virtual Machine
Wizard in the Hyper-V Manager.
Fixed size – The VHD file uses the full
amount of space specified during
creation.
Differencing – The VHD file exists as a
child disk in a parent/child relationship
with an existing VHD. The parent VHD
is left intact and changes that occur
are stored on the child (differencing)
