=== enable 2GB Sparse disks === | |||
By default the 2GB Sparse disk format is disabled since -I think- ESXi version 5.x | |||
If you try to import a disk in 2GB disk format you'll get the following error: | |||
# vmkfstools -i /vmfs/volumes/storage/myVM/myVM.vmdk -d thin myVM.vmdk | |||
Failed to open '/vmfs/volumes/storage/myVM/myVM.vmdk': The system cannot find the file specified (25). | |||
You can enable the 2GB disk format by using: | |||
esxcli system module load -m multiextent | |||
