Hello,
I'm attempting to shrink a VM from 2.0TB thin provision down to about 1TB thin using v2v conversion between hosts.
I'm using Converter 5.0.1 and the hosts are ESXi 5.
I've shut down the virtual machine and connect to vcenter via converter. Select VM and it returns: "Unable to obtain hardware information for the selected machine"
I've moved the VM to multiple hosts, still same issue.
I can however connect to other VM's on the same host just fine.
Review of the attached logs shows: Error 1 opening disk vpxa-nfcssl
I need to shrink the VM from 2TB to something smaller so that Veeam can perform a snapshot, and backup. The VMDK in question has only about 330GB used space so its silly to have such a large allocation.
If converter cannot complete this I'm looking for any other advice as to shrinking this VM.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
