Help shrinking and expanding partitions on Raid 5
I have a Dell R710 server running Windows 2008 R2 in a raid 5 configuration. My initial plan was to use this server as an Exchange 2010 server and run a few Hyper-V VM’s for optional Edge transport and Unified Messenger servers. All 3 are running on the same machine (1 physical and 2 virtual). I would like to shrink the size of the partition running the physical PC and expanded the partition holding the 2 VM’s. I need the extra room for a 3rd VM. I’ve tried the resizing option in Disk Management. I was able to shrink one of the partitions but the newly freed space didn’t become available to the other partition. It seems like it was a sub partition of the original partition.. if that makes sense. Is there a way to resize the partitions by making C: smaller and D: bigger?
