pre script: already gone through : http://www.vmware.com/pdf/VirtualDiskManager.pdf

 

i installed my virtual machine in drive e:\virtual machines\ashokvm with virtual disk size in the same drive with only 30GB

 

my h:\ drive has 400GB of space

 

now i want to move my virtual machine from existing e:\virtual machines\ashokvm to drive H:\virtual machines\ashokvm & expand the virtual disk size from existing 30GB to 400GB

 

how to do it please. config:32bit xp sp3, vm server 2

 

will this work? (my vmdk is split into 2gb growable files - not preallocated)

 

copy the entire virtual machines folder from e:\ to h:\ drive & there execute

 

h:\virtual machines\ashokvm>vmware-vdiskmanager -x 350GB -t 1 ashokVM.vmdk

 

should i necessarily give -t 1 as my vmdk is split into 2gb growable files & not preallocated?

 

appreciate your time & assistance

 

reg.
