Thin provisioned C drive Basic volume for sharepoint Virtual Machine
Hi there,
My sharepoint VM has think provisioned C drive (100GB basic volume) this is filling up quickly. I cannot extend or expand the volume. I right click on the VM, edit settings, click on the drive and I cannot increase the size (its all grayed out).
I have added another volume D though.
Need help to expand or extend C.
THanks

I have Vaeem backup program on another server which takes care of backing up. yesterday it showed a warning in doing a backup of this particular vm (I did not pay attention) at that time. I will see if the Vaeem snapshot is still under process and let you know.
Thanks

Here you go, my vm is running on the snapshot. I want to keep all the latest installed software and everything as of today. I just want to make myself sure before I click on 'beforeofficeapps' snapshot and delete it. Will it delete all my existing changes? sorry I forgot the process.

Is the disk IDE? (resize not supported)
V2V using VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 5.1 would be an option to create a clone of the existing VM, but also increase the disk size, and partition size in a single procedure.
