Hi,
We have a VM in the environment which is occupying thin provisioned disk space of 1 TB now the corporation has decided that the requirement of the VM is of 500 GB only. Hence, have asked me to reduce the disk space of the VM to 500 GB so that the additional disk space can be freed. Now in here lies my problem. On inspecting i found that the VM is using only 142 GB of actual disk space on the data store but if i reduce the size of Disk directly from edit settings of the VM , i am afraid i might have some data loss. Can anyone please guide me as should i reduce the disk space from the edit settings tab of the VM or should i do it via Vmware converter using V2V.
