Reducing size of /storage/seat on vCenter 6.7.0.14000

Hello there!

I've done some research before posting here, but I could not find what I'm looking for.

I think there was a problem during the initial deployment of my vCenter ... (Please see the attachments)

How can I properly reduce the size of /storage/seat?

Currently 514GB free on 542GB total size.

I was thinking to reduce it at 100 Go, but I would take any advice on what would be the optimal size.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi,

I missed the previous update.

Seems that you will have to live with it.

Here is another thread where it was discussed: Reduce VCSA disk size

At least, if you have thin disks you won't waste all that space.

Hope this helps.

Hi,


I can't see any attachment on this thread.
Anyway, why did you deploy a VCSA with 500 GB?

Hello!

I've choosen "Small" in the deployement size when I upgraded, it should be 340GB total (According to this HowTo : )https://www.virtualizationhowto.com/2018/04/upgrading-to-vmware-vcenter-server-vcsa-6-7/ )

I'm close to 100 VMs.

I added the attachments to this post.

Thanks for the help!

Cheers.

There are ways to shrink the size (converter or attaching vmdk from a new vcsa) of /storage/seat.

I was able to help one of my customer to reduce /storage/seat from 1.4TB to 100GB.
