Hi!
I've got two server installations in my vSphere 5.1 enviroment that are 2 TB in size, and I have the well known (ridiculous) issues with taking snapshots. This in turn leads to backup issues, as I'm using Veeam to backup the entire VM (after taking snapshots). I need to reduce the sizes of these two file servers (running Windows Server 2012) to fix the issue, but I'm not finding any good ways of doing this.
- Tried VMware converter to copy with resize on a different host, but it fails to read information from the VM.
- Tried Workstation 9 to copy to a local PC for resizing, but it for some reason fails to copy.
- It's a while back since I tried this, so I can't recall the exact error messages...
How can I achieve this without reinstalling my VM's?
