[Mike7100]

I have make a vm, vpshere esxi, with a 512Gb  virtual disk, but the vm is provisionning about a TB of space stockage.

Vmdk size is about 1Tb.

Can some one help me please.

J'ai fait une machine virtuelle sur esxi, avec un disque de 512GB, mais l'espace provisionné pour la machine est d'environ 1Tb,

la taille du fichier vmdk est environs 1TB.

Quelqu'un peut-il m'aider svp?

That is impossible.
Probably you created one or more snapshots.
Check the directory of the VM for any files with -00000*.vmdk in the name

Thank you for your answer,

but i have already deleted every snapshots.

I have only a *.vmdk, wich take about 1TB of space.

Can you please post the descriptor-vmdk ?
To do that connect to the ESXi with WinSCP and download the name.vmdk (in WinSCP you should see one small file name.vmdk and one 1TB large name-flat.vmdk - I want to see the small one)

Sorry but i have only the 1TB large name-flat.vmdk.

Now it gets a bit obscure !
Without the descriptor-vmdk you should not be able to use this vmdk with a VM .... ?
If you post the exact size in bytes I create a descriptorfile for you.
But none of this has anything to do with the problem you described in your first post.
