This vm has two drives. I want to clone e drive to new vmdk. Also I need to check the ntfs permissions after this conversion.
Power down the vm
Enable ssh & login to the esx host using putty
Browse the directory where that vm stored
We need to clone win10_1.vmdk
These are the option we can get from vmkfstool
I have created directory named disk2
This is how we can clone the disk( we need to use full path of the destination)
Also if required we can convert the disk type also. But here Im using same disk type(thin)
Power on the vm and login to the os
Open disk management utility
Right click on the new disk and make it online
Just check the ntfs permission of the folder
