Installing the Endurance Software
11.The message Do you want to create a virtual disk for use as the FTvirtual Server boot disk? is displayed. A virtual boot disk is required if there is only one physical disk in the CoServer. A virtual boot disk is created as a way to share a single physical disk as both the CoServer and the FTvirtual Server Windows boot disk. Disk space is allocated to a file on the CoServer disk. The content of the file is then formatted, parti- tioned, and used as a member of the FTvirtual Server boot disk.
If you select No, skip ahead to the CoServer 2 installation section.
If you select Yes the Device Redirector Connections dialog is dis- played. Click OK, to create a Virtual boot disk.
