VSMT disk size issue

Message:

Hi,
I've recently virtualised a machine with a 200Gb IDE and a second 250Gb
IDE drive.

unfortunetly, due to the 127Gb limit on IDE drives within virtual server -
this server will not virtualise.

I have tried to mount these disks as scsi disks - which works - and then
deploy the image, but no matter how large i make the disk, and increase the
init sizr in the deploy.xml - i always get the error "The volume is not large
enough to restore the image" - which is not the case.

Anyone got ideas on how to get around the 127gb ide issue and/or make this
work in any other way?

Thanks

Hi Nen,

you can use VirtualDiskDynamic option if size of the disk of the machine you
tried to virtualize is less than your scsi disk. Use that option on vmscript
/hwgeneratep2v ... /VirtualDiskDynamic

Hope that will help
