Howto convert a 2 gb chunk disk ito one single growable disk?

[blackgreen]

Dear Community,

How can I convert a grow able disk in 2 GB chunks into one single grow able disk?

I have tried the following already:

vmware-vdiskmanager -r "vm/olddisk.vmdk" -t 0 vm/newdisk.vmdk

But when I try this command I get the following error:

Creating disk 'vm/newdisk.vmdk'

Failed to convert disk: The parent of this virtual disk could not be opened (0x1700003e8c).

How can I solve this, I am using Windows 7 x64 with vmware 7.01 workstation.

Thank you in advance.

You need to use the full paths.

Not sure why you want to do this, as the 2GB-Split type disks are MUCH more robust and easier to troubleshoot (and copy/backup, defrag, etc.) than monolithic ones.

If you are on a Windows host, you can use my Windows GUI for the Diskmanager utility.

try something like this

vmware-vdiskmanager -r "c:\vm\olddisk.vmdk" -t 0 "c:\vm\newdisk.vmdk"
