Hi!
Im hope that i'm posting this in the correct forum/subforum.
The thing is that im running several server 2012 hyper-v guests on a server 2012 host machine.
During the night the host ran out of disc space and all the servers where paused, causing a complete stand still for the company. To free up some space for the host, i want to shrink a fixed size vhdx disc for one of the guests.
When i go to Disc Manager and click Shrink, it says that i can shrink 100471 Gb. However, when i press OK, i get an error message saying "There is not enough free space on the disc or discs to complete the task".. or similar. I get the message in Swedish on the server. Instead of shrinking 100 Gb, iäve tried to shrink only 70 Gb, 60 Gb, 40 Gb and 10 Gb, but every time i get this message. I've ran Check disk as well, but it found no errors.
I'm puzzled by this since i have free space both on the host and the disc i'm trying to shrink.
Free space has been created on the host by shutting down some of the other guest servers.
Any ideas?
As of now i can't have all needed servers running, since the all disk space for the host is consumed and the guests can be paused dut to lack of disk space any second.
Thanks,
Daniel
