You currently manage a virtual machine named VM$12$ that has been installed on the Srv$5$ physical server. The virtual machine uses a single fixed disk of $100$ GB saved in the vdisk$1.$vhd file.

Physical disk space on the server is getting low. When you run Disk Management within the virtual machine, you notice that only $30$ GB of space is being used, but the vdisk$1.$vhd file occupies $100$ GB$.$

You want to reduce the physical size of the virtual hard disk.

What should you do$?$

answer

Convert the disk to a dynamically expanding disk named vdisk$2.$vhd$.$ Compact the disk. Convert the disk to a fixed disk named vdisk$3.$vhd$.$ Delete vdisk$1.$vhd and change vdisk$3.$vhd$\text{'}$s name to vdisk$1.$vhd$.$

Compact the disk.

Create a differencing disk named vdisk$2.$vhd using vdisk$1.$vhd as the parent disk. Reconfigure the virtual server to use vdisk$2.$vhd instead of vdisk$1.$vhd$.$
