Storage Rightsizing Error

Hi There,

I have been trying to test the automated disk resizer in my environment - in this instance decreasing the disk allocation according to the recommendations.

Foglight attempts to do this - shuts down candidtate VM from Virtual Center, reconfigure VM, boots up.

In VC it generates an error:

'Invalid configuration for device '0' '

In Foglight web GUI the following is displayed:

'Failed: Unhandled null-pointer exception'

Can anyone shed some light please?

OS is Server 2008 R2 X64 and VMware Tools are up do date (hosted on ESXi 4.1.0)

Thanks!

    Through contact with support I found that this feature did not work with ESXi 4.1.0

    In that case, I would recommend opening a ticket with Support.  They'll be able to analyze the debug information from the product to investigate further.

    Thanks for your reply Brad.

    No, it is not a dynamic disk.

    Please see disk layouts below.

    Could this be related to the system reserved 'partition' on Disk 0?

    I have tried C & D rightsizing separately and get the same issue.

    Is the partition you're trying to rightsize a Windows Dynamic Disk?
