Hi,
I am not sure if it's the right place to post this question.
I tried to do a P2V operation of a Win2k3 server to ovirt 3.5
the physical server is RAID5 of 3x146Go configured, about 290 Go usable space, but the server uses about 20Go only.
I am wondering how to shrink the disk of the migrated physical machine, do I have to do it before using P2V tool?
The same question for Linux servers.
Thanks.
