Re: Reduce Provisioned Disk Size?

$

Hi, first time I write here, so hello all

 

I have a vmware solution, I'm not vmware system admin, I only my own organization admin, so I can not use API, only vCloud Director

 

Two of my VM need to resize disk.

 

(1) windows server 2008 R2 has a 50GB disk and I have to grow to 100GB. It's OS drive, so system MUST BOOT with this drive.

 

(2) windows 7, and has 2 disk, second one (not OS) I have to reduce, from 300GB to 150GB.

 

Cloud Admins said me that it's imposible to reduce disk, so (2) if it's imposible with vCloud.

 

I think to use another disk, for expample for (1), add a 100GB disk as secondary (bus 0, unit 1), copy data (robocopy, easeus or what?) and MBR (how?) to this new one, and then poweroff, change unit id, 0->1 1->0, and power on again. After I confirm new 100Gb drive it's ok, I will delete all 50GB

 

Should this work?

 

If work for (1), (2) seem esay as It has not MBR.

 

Thanks
