Change from Thin to Thick using inflate --> specified parameter was not correct

[mauser_]

Hello,

i wan to convert a VM-disk from thin to Thick.

When doing "inflate" a disk from the datastore i receive the error "A specified parameter was not correct" .

What to do to fix this?

Thx

Do you have adequate free space in the datastore that houses this thin disk?

Yes, more than 600 GB Free Space for a disk-file of 40 Gb.

please make sure u have shutdown  virtual machine and deleted all the snapshot before you proceeding inflate. after you inflate if u see "The disk is not thin-provisioned." that means already changed to thick and in order to see the thick u need to relaod the vmdk file by removing and rejoining the disk

Yep, snapshots was the solution.

Thx
