Practice question 132 of 506 · medium

Resize-VHD rejects a requested shrink of a VHDX to 40 GB. Get-VHD reports MinimumSize as 60 GB. What explains the error?

Choose the single best answer.

  1. A.Optimize-VHD automatically permits shrinking below MinimumSize
  2. B.Only VHD can be shrunk and VHDX cannot
  3. C.The requested capacity is below the disk's current minimum supported shrink size
  4. D.Changing only the guest drive letter removes the VHDX minimum boundary
Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

  • The requested capacity is below the disk's current minimum supported shrink size

A VHDX cannot be shrunk below its reported MinimumSize. Resize-VHD can shrink VHDX rather than VHD. Compaction does not automatically remove the virtual capacity boundary, and drive-letter changes do not alter the VHDX allocation/layout constraints.
