I have been reading and researching for days on how to convert a VM to another VM in same vmware cluster, with same name, IP, etc but just a different size disk. I am doing this for the purpose of reclaiming disk space on the SAN for VMS that were sized too large. The documentation ends before the necessary information is conveyed to be able to complete this. It ends abrubtly by saying "now select the destination system"..... however this is not straightforward information and as this is my first time doing a V2V conversion I more information.
For instance, I am prompted to select a location for the virtual machine which is a network path. I don't know what this is...I am assuming I would want the VM on my SAN, but we don't browse to our SAN on the the network. We only see it from the vcenter hosts. So, is this my vcenter IP address that is the location for the new virtual machine? I hope not since it is vcenter server I am hoping to resize. If I can't do this one its ok, I have others I need to do, but my same questions still apply.
Does anyone else know how I can resize a VM easily? I truly appreciate any help you can give me. As I said, the directions are not thorough, and having a very difficult time finding something on other sites.
I am vsphere 5.5 and converter 5.5
