be specified. Only local virtual disks can be

created.

-d : defragment the specified virtual disk. Only

local virtual disks may be defragmented.

-k : shrink the specified virtual disk. Only local

virtual disks may be shrunk.

-n <source-disk> : rename the specified virtual disk; need to

specify destination disk-name. Only local virtual

disks may be renamed.

-p : prepare the mounted virtual disk specified by

the mount point for shrinking.

-r <source-disk> : convert the specified disk; need to specify

destination disk-type. For local destination disks

the disk type must be specified.

-x <new-capacity> : expand the disk to the specified capacity. Only

local virtual disks may be expanded.

-R : check a sparse virtual disk for consistency and attempt

to repair any errors.

-e : check for disk chain consistency.

-D : make disk deletable. This should only be used on disks

that have been copied from another product.

Other Options:

-q : do not log messages

Additional options for create and convert:

-a <adapter> : (for use with -c only) adapter type

(ide, buslogic, lsilogic). Pass lsilogic for other adapter types.

-s <size> : capacity of the virtual disk

-t <disk-type> : disk type id

Disk types:

0 : single growable virtual disk

1 : growable virtual disk split in 2GB files

2 : preallocated virtual disk

3 : preallocated virtual disk split in 2GB files

4 : preallocated ESX-type virtual disk

5 : compressed disk optimized for streaming

6 : thin provisioned virtual disk - ESX 3.x and above

ex 1: vmware-vdiskmanager -c -s 850MB -a ide -t 0 myIdeDisk.vmdk

ex 2: vmware-vdiskmanager -d myDisk.vmdk

ex 3: vmware-vdiskmanager -r sourceDisk.vmdk -t 0 destinationDisk.vmdk

ex 4: vmware-vdiskmanager -x 36GB myDisk.vmdk

ex 5: vmware-vdiskmanager -n sourceName.vmdk destinationName.vmdk

-u username -f passwordfile "[storage1]/path/to/targetDisk.vmdk"

ex 7: vmware-vdiskmanager -k myDisk.vmdk

ex 8: vmware-vdiskmanager -p <mount-point>

(A virtual disk first needs to be mounted at <mount-point>)
