Re: Convert thick to thin don't works

After converting disk using vmkfstools command. Remove thick disk from VM's edit settings and add it as existing disk. Check vmdk it should be thin provision now. I remove thick vmdk from datastore.

After doing this I notice storage space is still same. I was expecting to free some space than I deleted flat file related to thick disk. Now I have free space.

 

These things are tested on VMDK which is running without snpashot. If your VM has snapshot than it can create problem.
