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
Shrink not convert?
For me the correct answer CONVERT why ?
– The question say –> You shutdown VM1
– The question say –> Which action you select from EDIT VIRTUAL DISK WIZARD
In my labo, the issue is very simple, you 2 choices CONVERT or EXPAND
The answer is CONVERT and not others
D
Stupid question.
If it’s dynamically expanding disk, then shrink is fine.
If it’s not, you need to convert.
Which one is assumed in this question?
@Tom, agreed I think wrong. I answered compact myself, for the edit virtual hard disk wizard you only have compact, convert and expand. The compact option compacts the size of the vhd.
I believe it is D. It says it is a fixed disk not dynamically expanding. You need to convert to VHDX.
So convert to VHDx then either change size or make dynamically expanding so it can be compacted
Has to be D nothing else that it could be.

The disk is fixed size , you can convert the disk to dynamically expanding , however that will sacrifice performance , since performance is not mentioned in the question u must assume that u cannot mess with it , therefore the only way to reduce the size of the disk is to shrink it using disk management
Why not B ?
all the question asks for is to make the file smaller is this not what compact does ?
compacting only works on dynamic, options other than convert are not in the wizard so it is convert
Option D. because “should you select from the Edit Virtual Hard Disk Wizard”, so in the wizard there is no option to Shrink. You need to convert.

D bros
Just to clear things up the correct answer is D , you cannot Compact a fixed VHD disk error bellow from test Lab environment:
[Window Title]
Edit Virtual Hard Disk Wizard
[Main Instruction]
The server encountered an error trying to edit the virtual disk.
[Content]
Failed to compact the virtual disk.
The system failed to compact ‘F:\test.vhd’.
[Expanded Information]
Failed to compact the virtual disk.
The system failed to compact ‘F:\test.vhd’: The requested operation cannot be performed on a virtual disk of this type. (0xC03A001B).

Here’s another link to confuse things. The links above refer to Server 2008 R2, whereas the test is about Server 2012 and R2. This link says you can use “Shrink” but it still says only on VHD”X”, so I’m still not sure why the answer is marked as “Shrink” http://www.altaro.com/hyper-v/how-to-resize-online-virtual-machine-hard-disks-in-hyper-v-2012-r2/
Correct Answer is D:
1.-Create a new fixed VHD on HyperV . It can be 10gbs or less.
2.-Open Edit Virtual Disk, choose the Fixed drive.
3.-Only 2 Options available: Convert or Expand.
Answer is Convert, in order to be able to shrink the volume.
Answer is D
Dynamic Disks have
Compact
Convert
Expand
Fix Disks have
Convert
Expand
Please Note: Shrink is not an option within managing virtual disks, (vhd / vhdx) Shrink is a Partitioning option.
Definitely D
Convert to a dynamically expanding VHDX
Shrink is an option for resizing volumes/partitions. If you attach a VHD in Disk Management, you will have the option to shrink a volume on the VHD, however, the size of the VHD will be the same (for instance, a 2GB VHD stays a 2GB VHD even though you have used Shrink on one of the volumes on the VHD).
Definitely D.
You can’t shrink a Fixed Size Disk because it is FIXED SIZE. That is why it is (a little) faster then dynamically expanding.
