Once you do that you would be presented with the Shrink option. That will limit the growth without needing to mess with the VHD." Set the internal partition to the size you want. "Simplest solution for what you want is to get a partition manager and run it inside of the VM. So without the shrink option available to you, you have to actual shrinking similar to fixed disk.įor example you had assigned max 126 GB earlier, the current consuption is 11GB and current available host disk space is 50GB, so you don't want the VHD to have ability to keep on growing exhausting the 50GB host disk, as it will try to grow till Now if you want to reduce the maximum size that is visible to the guest, i.e. The Optimize-VHD cmdlet optimizes the allocation of space in or more virtual hard disk files, except for fixed virtual hard disks. Guest OS still thinks I have 126GB of disk attached.

Starting from version 2.0, you can clone the current Windows operating system (Windows 7.

" The problem is that when you try to use that tool to reduce the size of a VHD created via Hyper-V or Virtual PC, you will notice that the minimum size allowed for the reduction is in fact the current max size… Not really useful.Īctually that issue is due to the fact that VHD Resizer can only reduce the VHD max size to the size allocated to the main partition contained inside and by default the partition is allowed to take The only explanation to the fact that MinimumSize = MaximumSize and > than the current size of the vhdx (126GB > 68GB) is this: Since my guest VM's drive C: is ~ 14Gb I thought the MinimumSize would reflect this value and I would be able to shrink the file at least to ~10-15Gb: MinimumSize - please excuse me if it has not been stated clearly. My goal is not to increase the size of my vhdx file from 65Gb to 127Gb but to shrink it to its possible
