Offline disk manipulation utility

-c : create disk. Additional creation options must
be specified. Only local virtual disks can be
created.
-d : defragment the specified virtual disk. Only
local virtual disks may be defragmented.
-k : shrink the specified virtual disk. Only local
virtual disks may be shrunk.
-n <source-disk> : rename the specified virtual disk; need to
specify destination disk-name. Only local virtual
disks may be renamed.
-p : prepare the mounted virtual disk specified by
the mount point for shrinking.
-r <source-disk> : convert the specified disk; need to specify
destination disk-type. For local destination disks
the disk type must be specified.
-x <new-capacity> : expand the disk to the specified capacity. Only
local virtual disks may be expanded.
-R : check a sparse virtual disk for consistency and attempt
to repair any errors.
-D : make disk deletable. This should only be used on disks
that have been copied from another product.
Other Options:
-q : do not log messages
Additional options for create and convert:
-a <adapter> : (for use with -c only) adapter type
(ide, buslogic, lsilogic). Pass lsilogic for other adapter types.

-t <disk-type> : disk type id

vmware-vdiskmanager -c -s 850MB -a ide -t 0 myIdeDisk.vmdk
vmware-vdiskmanager -d myDisk.vmdk
vmware-vdiskmanager -r sourceDisk.vmdk -t 0 destinationDisk.vmdk
vmware-vdiskmanager -x 36GB myDisk.vmdk
vmware-vdiskmanager -n sourceName.vmdk destinationName.vmdk
vmware-vdiskmanager -r sourceDisk.vmdk -t 4 -h esx-name.mycompany.com -u username -f passwordfile "[storage1]/path/to/targetDisk.vmdk"
vmware-vdiskmanager -k myDisk.vmdk
vmware-vdiskmanager -p "<mount-point>"

(A virtual disk first needs to be mounted at <mount-point>)
