Hi guys,
Iv'e recently read about Storage-Efficient disk (aka SE-Sparse/FLEX-SE)
Space Efficient Virtual Disks – In Practice | VMware End-User Computing Blog - VMware Blogs
I'm running VSphere 5.1.
I was able to create SE-Sparse disk via vmkfstools (-d sesparse) and via VCenter API.
It is working fast, just great. (IOPS Increased up to 3 times).
However i could not find a way to increase disk size when its SE-Sparse.
API gives error, in web client the disk size button is grayed out, and vmkfstoold -X give 'invalid disk parameter'. (all work on thin\thick disks)
Anyone have a solution\work around to do so?
Thanks!
