Vmware ide disk resize 올리는 방법

You can change virtual hard disk node and mode settings.

목차 Show

Prerequisites

To change the node and mode settings for a virtual hard disk on a selected virtual machine, select , click the Hardware tab, select the virtual hard disk, and click Advanced. By default, changes are immediately written to the disk. The data on the disk is saved when you take a snapshot of the virtual machine.

Table 1. Virtual Hard Disk Node and Mode Settings

Setting

Description

Virtual device node

Select the SCSI, IDE, SATA, or NVMe device identifier to use for the drive. For example, if you select SCSI 0:2, the guest operating system detects the drive as ID 2 on controller 0. You determine whether the virtual disk is seen as a SCSI, IDE, SATA, or NVMe device at the time that you create it.

Independent

If the Independent check box is unavailable, the virtual machine might have snapshots. After you delete the snapshots, the check box becomes available.

Caution: Independent disks do not participate in snapshots. Only select Independent mode for a disk in a virtual machine if you are prepared to give up the ability to take snapshots of the virtual machine when powered on.

Although independent disks are not commonly used, they are useful in specific situations.

For example, you have a virtual machine with two virtual disks. The second disk is configured to hold the Linux swap file or the Windows page file. The data on this disk has no value once the virtual machine is powered off. Therefore, you have no need to save the data from the second disk in a snapshot of the virtual machine. You can economize host disk space by not storing that data when a snapshot is taken. Accomplish this economy of host disk space by making the second disk independent.

Specify independent disks as Persistent or Nonpersistent.

While the virtual machine is running, a non-persistent disk stores all of the changes made to a disk in a separate file. When the virtual machine is shut down, the changes are discarded. Discarding the changes is useful in certain situations.

For example, you have a virtual machine configured for a school setting or kiosk. The virtual machine has all the necessary software loaded, such as browsers, programming tools, computer-aided learning software, and so on. Students can use the virtual machine normally during the day. When the virtual machine is powered off at the end of the day, all changes made are discarded. When the virtual machine is powered on the following day, the non-persistent disk is exactly as it was at the beginning of the previous day. The disk contains no new malware or misconfigured software. Students can save their work to a USB thumb drive or network location as needed.

You can increase the usable space in a virtual hard disk. You cannot reduce the size of a hard disk. You cannot make a blank hard disk smaller after it has been formatted.

Prerequisites

Having manual or AutoProtect snapshots in your virtual machine prevents you from making changes to a virtual hard disk. You must delete the snapshots before you can make a change.

Shut down or power off the virtual machine. You cannot change the setting while the virtual machine is powered on or suspended.

Procedure

Select .
Select a virtual machine in the Virtual Machine Library window and click Settings.
In the Settings window, click the hard disk you want to resize.
Use the Disk size slider to set the new size.
The maximum disk size for any hard disk is 8TB.
(Optional) Under Advanced options, set the Bus type for the hard disk to IDE, SCSI, SATA, or NVMe.
Note: If the guest operating system does not support NVMe, the NVMe option appears unavailable.
Changing this setting is recommended only for advanced users. Fusion selects the bus type that is most appropriate for the virtual machine guest operating system.

Set your disk space configuration, depending on the constraints of the file system.

Option

Description

Pre-allocate disk space

Can give better performance for your virtual machine. If you allocate all the disk now, you cannot use the VMware Tools shrink disk feature later. Allocating all disk space now is a time-consuming operation that cannot be canceled. Also, the allocation process requires as much physical disk space as you specify for the virtual disk.

Split disk into multiple files

Default. Some file systems, such as FAT and UFS, cannot support very large files. Use this option if your virtual machine will be used in a hard drive with a file system that does not support very large files. This option splits your virtual disk into multiple files. Also, use this option if you might place the virtual machine on an external FAT drive or if you might move the virtual machine to an external drive.

Apply the changes and choose automatic or manual partition resize for Windows guests.

Option	Description
Click Apply.	For Windows guests, the partition is automatically resized when the hard disk is resized.
Click Apply while pressing the Option key.	The hard disk is resized but the partition is not. To manually resize the partition of the guest, see Resize a Windows Partition with the Disk Management Tool.
