MSA2012fc Shrink Volume

[jimhendo_1]

Hello,

In our migration process from 2008 to 2008R2 I need to shrink some volumes created on a MSA2012fc. Is this possible? Or do i need to create a new volume and move the data?

Just want to try to achive this without downtime for the virtual machine.

Thanks

James

I've not seen that one can shrink volumes (or vdisks) on an MSA2000. Are these RDMs? As far as I can tell, you cannot shrink a VMFS-3 (not even in ESX4 where you can at least grow it).

Ah they are .VHD files and at the moment only half of the LUN is taken up. So i have 150GB free in the LUN.

I guess I will just have to create new LUNs with the correct sizes and move the data around.


Thanks
