Re: Converting V2V in an attempt to reclaim space

I was hoping during the V2V conversion I would have been able to select a new disk size based on the amount of data - as in, usually the limit is the amount of disk in use plus 10% - I would have been happy with the amount of space in use and double that for the target disk. The C volume let me do that, but the D volume would not - it was like the 300GB is use times 5, instead of plus 10%. So I never even ran the V2V because it would have been useless based on that.  Definitely I think I will retrace the steps from the AppAssure export and see if I missed anything.

Perhaps conversion is not the right thing in this case. Can you afford to add a new virtual disk with appropriate size and just copy the files there? (assuming all system files are on C:)

Yes, the system Files are on C.  I like this idea.  So I can simply create a new virtual disk and copy the files, and then remove the oversized volume, using the vSphere Web Client?  I will look into this.  Thanks!
