MiServer: Managed Windows: System Disk and Data Volumes

This document applies to managed Windows systems ordered on or after June 16, 2025.

System Volume (C:\)

It is important to keep the available space of your MiServer’s system volume (C:\) above 10gb. When the system volume fills it may impact the stability and availability of the server, prevent important maintenance such as patching and monitoring from completing, and may also impact the availability of installed applications.

Data Volumes (D:\ and beyond)

Customers are encouraged to install applications to a data volume attached to the server rather than the C:\ drive if possible. This practice helps to keep the free space on the boot disk available to the operating system and reduces risks of filling that volume.
