Hi,

I set up a system for a training environment, but later realized that I did not need the full size that I had allocated for one of my targets. I would like to shrink a 500GB image file to about 50GB. There is nothing in it, and I know that I can delete it and recreate a new one, but that would mess up the SCSI targets that are seen by my ESX Servers. (500GB target is SCSI 02, and it would become SCSI 17, at the end of the chain)

Is there any way to change this?

Thanks,

Will

Unfortunately it is impossible to shrink image.
