VM Ware Pro 12.1.2 provisioned space doesn't show as available space in Virtual Machine - why not?

VM Ware Pro 12.1.2 provisioned space doesn't show as available space in Virtual Machine - why not?

VM Ware Provisioned space = 126GB vs. Endpoint / VM available space = 99.6GB (ref screenshot)

Anyone have a clue what's going on here? Any insight and/or help will be most appreciated...

Thanks in advance to whomever may be able to assist!

Hi,

Did you try to increase the virtual hard disk space perhaps?
If so, beware that you also have to increase the partition from within the guest OS in order to see the new larger disk space.

Thank you Will!!

I had already tried increasing the provisioned space by 1GB but that didn't do it ;o(

However, your 2nd suggestion was spot on! I've never had to do this before, not sure why this time but regardless, that did the trick.

Thanks again - both for your sterling guidance and...lightening reply!
