vmdkĮ.g vmkfstools -K /vmfs/datastore1/myvm/myvmvmdkĭO NOT attempt to run vmkfstools against the -flat.vmdk file. vmkfstools can be executed from an ssh console on the ESXi hypervisor To reclaim the space, shut down the VMware guest and use vmkfstools to recover the space. The sdelete utility should be executed using an elevated console prompt on the affected VMWare guest.Ģ. On Windows platforms the sdelete (secure delete) utility from the sys internals tool set can be used to zero deleted data. For example, you can create and manage VMFS datastores on a physical partition, or manipulate virtual disk files, stored on VMFS or NFS datastores. You can perform many storage operations using the vmkfstools command. Before the space can be reclaimed the remaining data must be set to zeros.ġ. vmkfstools is one of the ESXi Shell commands for managing VMFS volumes, storage devices, and virtual disks. OS layer data deleted from the virtual hard disk file is removed from the virtual file allocation table however the contents of the file remain allocated in the virtual hard disk file, preventing the space being reclaimed by ESXi. How to reclaim disk space on thin provisioned diskĮSXi thin disk format uses a sparse file format to allow OS layer partitions to appear larger than the physical virtual hard disk file. Were you able to fix this i am running into same issueESXi consolidate space on thin disk Solution I installed older versions of mac on vmware & the tools worked but not this one. It goes thru the install for me fine but its not installing video drivers for me as it wont switch to full screen even after i did a uninstall reinstall so their must be something missing from this tools. Shut down your VM first and then change the settings How to fix this i am stuck at step 2 : This operation cannot proceed because your Mac OS guest is using the CD/DVD.ĭismiss this message, eject the disc from inside the guest, and retry this operation. Ok the first time I understand everything and I worked perfectly for me thank you so much for that tuto : precise, detailed, accurate.
