You have virtual machine named VM1.
VM1 uses a fixed size virtual hard disk (VHD) named Disk1.vhD. Disk1.vhd is 200 GB.
You shut down VM1.
You need to reduce the size of disk1.vhd.
Which action should you select from the Edit Virtual Hard Disk Wizard?
A.
Merge
B.
Compact
C.
Shrink
D.
Convert
I think the only options possible are Compact / Convert / Merge / Expand. Shrinking is only available through Disk Management if I’m not mistaken, not from Edit Virtual Hard Disk Wizard.
so the correct answer is convert

the question states vhd, not vhdx. is the answer still appropriate since vhd is fixed size?

The only option in the edit Virtual Hard Disk Wizard are compact/expand/shrink. Therefore answer is c-shrink. And yes they did well to shutdown the vm 1st. Same would apply in computer management you’d still shrink cause your reducing size , nothing to do with converting anything here.

I believe you need to change it to VHDx first as you cant shrink fixed sized VHDs,also compact is a Win2008 thingy. So I believe it should be D:convert to vhdx first,shrink later.but could be wrong..

D – Igor says it correctly

C is incorrect. The answer is D, here’s why:
A) Shrink – You can’t shrink a fixed size VM (whether vhd or vhdx).
B) Compact – You can’t compact fixed (only dynamic or differencing).
C) Merge – This has nothing to do with shrinking and besides to merge you need
differencing disks.
D) Convert – Once you convert the fixed disk to a dynamic disk you can then shrink and then compact it or vice versa.

Answer is D.
In vhd shrink is not available, you first convert to vhdx and then you can shrink the virtual disk.

HI all answere is D converet
all the other option are avilabe for dynamically expanding disk In the question it specifies it is fixed type. so we need to convert fisrt and then use shrink since they ask you to rediuce the sixze of the VND not the files on the vhd
