Vmkfstools Windows 10
This site contains documentation of the various things I have happened to invest some time into investigating and decided to make documentation for
- 'vmkfstools -i /mnt/windows/directory/drive0.vmdk /vmfs/farm0lun0/servername.vmdk' You can also mount the windows share and use the MUI to copy and paste the file to te vmfs partition and ESX will use the vmkfstools automatically. Re: how to copy from windows to vmfs.
- This can be resolved by resizing the volume using vmkfstools from the ESX command line:vmkfstools -X g Once the copy completes, proceed to the Cleanup section of this article to continue. When the transfer completes, access your vSphere environment.
I believe that specific kind of knowledge in the right hands can do a lot of good things, so I decided to document things I know about. The things I know are very niche and I’d be shame if that information would happen to just dissapear one day.
I have decided to use 3kliksphilip’s approach to tutorials, based on his old Hammer World Editor tutorial series. Raw simple knowledge that you can kickstart yourself from to do many things. As this knowledge is supposed to create a starting point for you, it is recommended to study more than just the documentation located on this site.
It is highly encouraged to fork and expand on the knowledge and information located on this site.
List of documentation
This gives us a 36 GB size (while the VM itself actually uses about 10 GB). Issue the command vmkfstools –punchzero VM.vmdk. This will take a while so be patient (and oh yes, you VM must be powered off). On a 40 GB VMDK it took me about 10 minutes, but this will depend mostly on your SAN speed.
