I have a 2tb Netapp NFS mount (totalling 600gb of Thin prov VMDK) that Im using on my main server but I want to test the restore to another ESXi server with 1TB of local vmfs5 storage so that I can both demo/test the restore process, as required, and to bring the live servers into test for patch testing etc
Currently VDR is only restoring them as thick disks, meaning im 2tb short of disk space.
How can I force VDR to restore in the disk format that I want, onto local vmfs5 storage, without having to restore, migrate, remigrate?
Thanks all!
Paul
