Overview

This module creates a partition and mounts it to an accesspath on Windows.

Module Description

This module introduces a small defined type partitionaccesspath. It shrinks an existing partition and then creates a new (raw or formatted) partition, which gets mounted to an accesspath. It is only supported on Windows.

Setup

Setup Requirements

  • partitionaccesspath makes use of Powershell, you'll need at least version 4.0 installed in order to use this module. This is available from Windows 2012 R2 and beyond.

Beginning with partitionaccesspath

To create a new partition and mount it automatically:

partitionaccesspath { 'Data':
  driveletter => 'D',
  size        => '3GB',
  accesspath  => 'C:\Storage\Data',
  filesystem  => 'ntfs',
}

Reference

Defined Types

  • partitionaccesspath: Create a partition and mount it to an accesspath

Parameters

driveletter

This is the driveletter of the partition that will be shrunk with size.

size

The desired size of the partition. The acceptable values for this parameter are: Bytes, KB, MB, GB, or TB.

accesspath

The path on which the new partition needs to be mounted.

filesystem

Filesystem can either be 'raw', 'ntfs' or 'fat32'. After the new partition is created, it will be formatted to the filesystem that is set in the manifest.
If filesystem is omitted or set to raw (which is the default value), it will skip this step and leave the partition as is - raw.

Limitations

This module is tested on the following platforms:

  • Windows 2012 R2
  • Windows 2016

It is tested with Puppet EE only.
