DCE VM convert thin to thick provisoning

DCIM_Support · ‎2020-07-02

Hi All,

We need to convert a DCE (7.2.4) VM from thin to thick storage provisioning due to poor server performance.

Is it possible to change this without requiring a server rebuild?

(I assume that DCE can be gracefully shutdown, provisioning changed to thick, additional hard disks added to increase capacity)

Thanks

David,

To my knowledge, you shouldn't have any issues changing hard drive provisions from thin to thick. I would recommend that a full backup or a snapshot of the VM prior to changing hard disk type to revert to in case a problem occurs.

Thank You
