Hey Guys, i'll try to sum this up the best I can so it doesn't run long and get boring.
Recently we switched to Veeam as our backup solution and discovered that it will not backup disks larger than 2032GB.
Our main virtual file server has two disks that are about 2072GB(don't even know how that happened).
I unmounted one of them from the main virtual file server and mounted it to a new test VM that I made.
I'm trying to do a V2V convert of that test VM to a new VM with a smaller disk size with the VMware Converter Standalone, with the intention of afterwards unmounting it from the test VM and remounting back to the original main virtual file server.
The problem is the V2V just gets stuck at 98%. I've tried leaving it at 98% for about 8 hours but it still never progresses or error's out.
Any help with this or any suggestions on other ways to shrink a virtual disk would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
