4. The Shrink tab lets you prepare to export a virtual disk to VMware GSX Server

using the smallest possible disk files. This step is an optional part of the export

process.

Virtual disks on ESX Server take up the full amount of disk space indicated by the

virtual disk’s size. In other words, the .dsk file for a 4GB virtual disk occupies

4GB of disk space.

GSX Server works differently. Under GSX Server, virtual disk files start small —

only as big as needed to hold the data stored on the virtual disk — and grow as

needed up to the designated maximum size.

If you plan to export a virtual disk for use under GSX Server, click the Shrink tab,

be sure there is a check beside the name of the disk you plan to export, then

click Prepare to shrink.

Note: When you export the virtual disk (using the file browser in the

management interface or the vmkfstools program), a single virtual disk may

be exported to multiple .dsk files.

5. On the About tab, you see information about the version of VMware Tools

installed in the virtual machine. Click the www.vmware.com button to go to the

VMware home page on the Web.
