VM Information on Edit Settings

If you have created a VM thin provision disk at 60GB. 60GB is THE MAXIMUM it can reach. at present. e.g. that's it's fixed size.

The Maximum Size of 300GB, is the MAXIMUM SIZE you can Extend the current disk to....because there is possibly 300GB free on the datastore.

If you have a datastore of 200GB.

Maximum Size of VMDK cannot be 300GB.

If you are STUPID enough to create a THIN PROVISIONED DISK OF 64TB on a datastore of 200GB....

VMware vSphere does remind you on creation the disk capacity specified is greater than the amount available on the datastore! (but this warning is a newer feature in 6.x and later)

Some of VMs do not show any number on Maximum size field , when you go to Edit Settings of a VM.

That's not really anything to do with the question asked !

Off-Topic.

it is...
it is about the information in Edit Settings of a VM

if they set up Maximum Size to 300 GB, will VMware system warn the Administrator that the Datastore the VM is on does  not have that  much space ? or they can put any number on the Maximum Size field, and Vmware system will not care ?

I think this has been answered and a screenshot provided for you, which answers that question.

Yes vSphere does WARN the user with a message, as posted and uploaded for you to read.

The fact that you have found an issue and bug with your vSphere installation, as part of this question, raises a new Question/Issue, otherwise that will turn into another question, and another question, which you have a habit of doing.

I do not agree at all.....

the title of the question is : VM Information on Edit Settings

Means an Expert needs to explain those Fields.. Vmware is not my day to day task..so I can ask any question I want ...but not open new question for each Word ..

The title may be VM Information on Edit Settings which is incorrect in my opinion.

But your question is

if they set up Maximum Size to 300 GB, will VMware system warn the Administrator that the Datastore the VM is on does  not have that  much space ? or they can put any number on the Maximum Size field, and Vmware system will not care ?

it's about Virtual Machine Disk size on the datastore, which is a related question to the last question you had.

There are many options in the VM Edit Settings, virtual disk (vmdk) is just one of many.

I'm sorry @jskfan but a Volunteer Expert does not have to do anything, you may ask any question you like, but a Volunteer Expert does not have to answer it.

Your Question has been Answered in https:#a42642080 above.

Yes vSphere does WARN the user with a message, I've gone to the trouble of screenshotting the very message, which is delivered to the end user, for you to see, I believe this is going above and beyond what most GOOGLE MONKEYS do on EE.

in the same context , I said:
"Some of VMs do not show any number on Maximum size field , when you go to Edit Settings of a VM.
"

Thanks

Glad to assist with you on this question. Have a good day.
