Not able to add disk while doing P2V

[Achintam]

Hello All,

Good day to all.

Was trying to add a disk of 20 gigs while converting a windows 2003 x86 using standalone convertor 5.5 to an vcenter infrastructure  5.1(tried local install

on the physical server as well as from the vcenter installation), but couldn't. It won't allow me specify the disk size. Is it a limitation or i am missing something here?....thanks.

Best Regards.

Hello

you can't specify disk size in Converter, you can specify only volume size. Adding virtual disks as functionality is here in order to reorder volumes (i.e. move some volumes to a new disk), not to add new volumes.

You can easily add a new virtual disk to your VM after the conversion and then create a new volume from inside the GOS.

Regards,

Plamen
