unassigned disk for vms

[smakovits]

I want to add my vms (vdisk folder) to my unassigned disk, but want to be sure I am doing it correctly.

 

First, I added the disk and I formatted it and mounted it.  In my main view, i now see the disk and also the formatted volume underneath.  I then mounted the disk.

 

2 things at this point.

 

1. I assume I need a volume formatted to user the thing

2. do I have to share the volume to use it and add a share to it

 

I do not want the disk to show up when browsing shares on my server, not sure if it is possible to hide it or not.  I really just want to use it for vms and nothing else.  Am I doing it right and just have to share the disk or is there a better way to do it?

I have my VMs installed as you describe it on a disk formatted to xfs. I have set Share to On but you don’t need to if you like to hide it.
