Hi All,
I'm having issue with vmdk size, just explaining in short.
On 1 ProLiant DL380 Gen9 Server, I have created a VM with 180GB HDD and installed RHEL Linux 6.9 with Kickstart file (880) packages. When I exported the VMDK using vSphere it created a 2.5 GB vmdk file. Please note that available hard disk on the server is 700 GB.
On 2nd ProLiant DL380 Gen9 Server, I have created a VM with 180GB HDD and installed RHEL Linux 6.9 with Kickstart file (880) packages. When I exported the VMDK using vSphere it created a 10 GB vmdk file. Please note that available hard disk on the server is 90 GB.
Just want to know why this big difference in size. Is it all because of available space on the server running hypervisor or what????
Badly need to know this.
Many thanks
