macOS下VMware合并vmdk

前言

业务需求，导致需要做vmdk镜像，故有这篇文章

正文

查找工具路径

合并vmdk需要用到vmware-vdiskmanager,在安装了DMG后，系统是无法直接识别到该命令的。

右键进入该应用

进入对应路径，找到该工具

该工具的路径为/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmware-vdiskmanager

正式使用

1. 直接在终端中进入工具目录
   cd /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library
2. 查看帮助文档
   

   ➜  Library ./vmware-vdiskmanager -h
   ./vmware-vdiskmanager: illegal option -- h
   VMware Virtual Disk Manager - build 18811640.
   Usage: vmware-vdiskmanager OPTIONS <disk-name> | <mount-point>
   Offline disk manipulation utility
     Operations, only one may be specified at a time:
        -c                   : create disk.  Additional creation options must
                               be specified.  Only local virtual disks can be
                               created.
        -d                   : defragment the specified virtual disk. Only
                               local virtual disks may be defragmented.
        -k                   : shrink the specified virtual disk. Only local
                               virtual disks may be shrunk.
        -n <source-disk>     : rename the specified virtual disk; need to
                               specify destination disk-name. Only local virtual
                               disks may be renamed.
        -p                   : prepare the mounted virtual disk specified by
                               the volume path for shrinking.
        -r <source-disk>     : convert the specified disk; need to specify
                               destination disk-type.  For local destination disks
                               the disk type must be specified.
        -x <new-capacity>    : expand the disk to the specified capacity. Only
                               local virtual disks may be expanded.
        -R                   : check a sparse virtual disk for consistency and attempt
                               to repair any errors.
        -e                   : check for disk chain consistency.
        -D                   : make disk deletable.  This should only be used on disks
                               that have been copied from another product.
        -U                   : delete/unlink a single disk link.
   
     Other Options:
        -q                   : do not log messages
   
     Additional options for create and convert:
        -a <adapter>         : (for use with -c only) adapter type
                               (ide, buslogic, lsilogic). Pass lsilogic for other adapter types.
        -s <size>            : capacity of the virtual disk
        -t <disk-type>       : disk type id
        -z <level>           : compression level for -t 5. Valid range: [0,9]
                               Default: 1
   
     Disk types:
         0                   : single growable virtual disk
         1                   : growable virtual disk split into multiple files
         2                   : preallocated virtual disk
         3                   : preallocated virtual disk split into multiple files
         4                   : preallocated ESX-type virtual disk
         5                   : compressed disk optimized for streaming
         6                   : thin provisioned virtual disk - ESX 3.x and above
   
        The capacity can be specified in sectors, KB, MB or GB.
        The acceptable ranges:
                              ide/scsi adapter : [1MB, 8192.0GB]
                              buslogic adapter : [1MB, 2040.0GB]
           ex 1: vmware-vdiskmanager -c -s 850MB -a ide -t 0 myIdeDisk.vmdk
           ex 2: vmware-vdiskmanager -d myDisk.vmdk
           ex 3: vmware-vdiskmanager -r sourceDisk.vmdk -t 0 destinationDisk.vmdk
           ex 4: vmware-vdiskmanager -x 36GB myDisk.vmdk
           ex 5: vmware-vdiskmanager -n sourceName.vmdk destinationName.vmdk
           ex 6: vmware-vdiskmanager -k myDisk.vmdk
           ex 7: vmware-vdiskmanager -p <mount-point>
                 (A virtual disk first needs to be mounted at <mount-point>)
   

3. 参考最后的example3，更改对应的原vmdk，以及最终输出的vmdk路径。
   ./vmware-vdiskmanager -r sourceDisk.vmdk -t 0 destinationDisk.vmdk
4. 最终成果
   

   ➜  Library ./vmware-vdiskmanager -r /<Your_Source_Path>/win2k3.vmdk -t 0 /<Your_Dest_Path>/win2k3.vmdk
   
   Creating disk '<Your_Dest_Path>/win2k3.vmdk'
     Convert: 100% done.
   Virtual disk conversion successful.
