How to reduce the size of the virtual disk

Is it possible to reduce the size of the virtual disk to a virtual machine.  If so, how?  We tried the shrink option in the VMware tools running on the virtual (Win2003) computer, but it didn't reduce the size of the unit at all.

VMware Converter is probably the best option for fret.

  • How to correlate the virtual disk on the disk of OS

    I need to remove one of the virtual virtual machine disks. The problem is that I have two identical drives, more they are on Rible virtual scsi adapters so if I look at the properties of disks in disk management, they are both targets ID 0. Is there another way to correlate the virtual disk belongs to disk inside the BONE?

    Since this is often not easy to understand, I usually create each disc with a slightly different size. That said, resize one of the disks (for example add 1 GB virtual disk) and you will be able to identify the disk that you want to remove.

  • Unable to reduce the virtual disk (Linux RHE 5.4) with converter standalone 4.0.1

    I recently did a V2V with VMware Converter 4.0.1 to move a virtual machine running Linux Red Hat Enterprise VMware Server 2.0 on ESX 3.5 5.4.

    I was surprised to be unable to change the size of the partition. I have a 20 GB partition but only 3 GB is used. So I would reduce it to have a 5 GB partition.

    How can I change the size of partition? I know with Windows, it works well, why with Linux can not do the same?

    Thank you

  • VMware Tools: Shrinkage of the virtual disks - what is - this intended?

    Hello

    Maybe I'm missing something, but what is the "Reduction of the virtual disks' in VMware Tools used for?  It seems to me that 'reduce the virtual disks' is the only thing that it does not.

    I have a virtual disk in a virtual machine with Windows 2003 Std x 64.  A 'volume' (a partition on a dynamic disk) disk occupies 10 GB on a virtual disk.  The rest of the space on the virtual disk is not assigned.  I want to "shrink" the virtual disk to recover the unallocated space.  But the function "reduce virtual disks" VMware Tools seems to allow me only to "shrink" the disk volume or partition.  I want to reduce the virtual disk.

    What Miss me?

    Thank you.

    Your best best for shrink disk is to use VMware vCenter Converter.  The fret is more than one optimization tool, a bit like a Defrag tool, but will not reduce the size of the disk of the virtual computer.

    On my Mac, they take as much space as 1 GB for a film record or a screen for 2 minutes.

  • How to resize the size of the virtual disk for Linux guest OS

    Hello

    I installed VMWare WS 6.5 on my host OS (Vista) and have created a guest VM with RedHat like OS.  When creating, I've specified to create a virtual disk with a size of 8 GB, but have not selected the option of immediate creation - it being understood that VM is assigned additional as needed.  But now, on the comments and space use is 100%.  How can I allocate extra space for the virtual machine?  Also, is it possible to go beyond 8 GB, if so how.

    Enjoy your time, help.

  • How to reduce the size of the jpg file, not the size of pixel?

    I prepare images for the web and I really have 2 questions: one on gifs and the other on the jpg files.
    My standard procedure is to reduce the image to the desired at 600 dpi pixel dimensions
    It gives me a little crisp image. can I use this what if the file size is quite low (I try for less than 600 KB) or convert to gif with the save for Web and devices.

    Here are my 2 questions (I'll count this solved with each answer)

    (1) when I convert a gif that I have 4 boxes: one with the original size, the other 3 with options but, often, the options are too low resolution for me how can I change my 3 options starting with a higher res gif?

    (2) if I try to reduce the size of the jpg in the image size box I put the lower resolution (400, 300), which reduces the pixel dimensions and the size of the file, but I don't want to change the pixel dimensions. If I reset the dimensions in pixels to the size I want, even if it is a lower resolution that the file size does not change. How to reduce the size of the jpg file using only the resolution, the pixel dimensions not?  PS I tried to play with the checking and unchecking the 3 small boxes (scale of styles, constrain the proportions and re - sample) but nothing has worked.

    GIF is not a type of large file, especially if you want a sharp image. What are the dimensions of the pixel?

    For the web, it is immaterial that the dpi is, only the last pixel dimensions, so once you have that you want to use 'save for Web and devices' and you can reduce quality - 100% being the maximum and 0% being the lowest. I wouldn't save anything less than 55%. For an image of 600 KB, the size must be large enough.

  • Reduce the size of the virtual disk RAID 5

    I have Windows Server 2003 is installed on a virtual disk PERC H700 RAID-5. Total size of the disk is 5.5 TB. The problem is that WinServer 2003 cannot use the disk due to the MBR 2 TB limit (and I can't convert to GPT without destroy all partitions, which is what I try to avoid). Since 3.5 TB of drive space is unallocated (and reconciliations), is there a way to reduce the size of the virtual disk to remove this space which can not be used anyway? Then, I could by using the remaining capacity to create a new virtual disk that can be set up as GPT and access the space through it (or two new virtual drives 2 TB and 1.5 TB in size). I know that you can expand a virtual disk, but you can a shrink?

    No, you can develop most of the virtual drives, but you will not be able to reduce them.

    You will have to start on this subject, creating a VD less than 2 TB for boot/OS disk, then the rest can be used in an another VD.
