Inflate Thin Virtual Disks
If you created a virtual disk in the thin provision format, you can inflate it to its full size.
This procedure converts a thin disk to a virtual disk in thick provision format.
Procedure
1 | Select the virtual machine in the inventory. |
2 | Click the Summary tab and, under Resources, double-click the datastore for the virtual machine to open the Datastore Browser dialog box. |
3 | Click the virtual machine folder to find the virtual disk file you want to convert. The file has the .vmdk extension. |
4 | Right-click the virtual disk file and select Inflate. |
The inflated virtual disk occupies the entire datastore space originally provisioned to it.
