Hi,<br />
<br />
We have a old VM running in a esx 5.5 that come from vmware converter, and now we need to increase the space disk and when I edit the VM settings, the Hard disk show as unsupported with the message (This type of virtual device is supported on this host, but not for the bus (e.g. IDE or SCSI)<br />
<br />
How can I convert this kind of old virtual disk?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Hard disk unsupported

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
