2GB VMDK issues

Had some issues with moving/converting the first VM to the ESXi test server. It turns out the originating VM has disk partitions of 2GB. After some searching found out that there is a command line tool that consolidates the multiple partitions into one, making it possible to move/convert the VM to the ESXi test server. The command is as follows:

vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -r {SOURCE}.vmdk -t 0 {NEW}.vmdk

The argument t refers to the disk type. Possible disk types are:

    0                   : single growable virtual disk
    1                   : growable virtual disk split in 2GB files
    2                   : preallocated virtual disk
    3                   : preallocated virtual disk split in 2GB files
    4                   : preallocated ESX-type virtual disk
    5                   : compressed disk optimized for streaming
    6                   : thin provisioned virtual disk - ESX 3.x and above
