Hi
I am very new to this but i wanted to lower my power usage by getting rid of my 3 original Devices and putting them into 1
I purchased an HPZ420 with a e5-2630 V2 (6 core + ht) and at the moment 16gb Ram
I also have 6 HDD 2 x 3TB and 3 x 1TB for storage (the last is a 256GB SSD for the OS)
I succesfully setup my 2 VM's 1st is an OPENWRT router which works great
the 2nd is a windows 7 VM which im using as a Media server
So far i have had to setup this twice as it keeps telling me that there is no disk space yet the disks in the VM are under half full
I have datastores in the VM
the error is the one vdmk runs out of space yet the VM reports 1.3TB free of 2.7TB , so Is my issue that i used the whole 2.7TB provisioned as a thick lazily zeroed disk and would i be better to delete that storage and then create a smaller disk (IE 2TB) and leave 700GB over on the VMFS Partition ?
I may be wrong but i think thats what i need to do but please if anyone can point me in the right direction i would be grateful
Thanks in Advance
