PS, we do dedupe on NetApp as well and it saves a ton of space! From: Jason Morris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 18, 2008 8:27 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: P2V and Partitions It does, and has. I do it all the time when going p2v. From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 18, 2008 10:25 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: P2V and Partitions But will Windows see that expanded partition? I think not IIRC. It may see the additional space, but won't just dynamically resize. From: Andy Shook [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 18, 2008 8:19 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: P2V and Partitions Roger, 1. Each volume on the physical box is treated as a separate volume(with a separate .vmdk file)in the VMWare environment. 2. Yes, the wizard driven VMWare converter will allow volumes to be shrunk or expanded during the P2V. 3. No, see #2. Shook From: Roger Wright [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 18, 2008 11:13 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: P2V and Partitions When taking a server P2V, how does the conversion handle the drives and partitions? Is it possible to do any resizing during the conversion? Do VMs require the same disk space as physical machines?
