Practice question 479 of 506 · medium

A data VHDX on a Hyper-V SCSI controller has been expanded. Windows inside the guest still shows the original data-volume size and now displays adjacent unallocated space. Which next operation completes the intended capacity change?

Choose the single best answer.

  1. A.Create a new production checkpoint and assume it commits the new partition size
  2. B.Extend only the VHDX maximum size again and assume that changes the existing guest partition boundaries
  3. C.Extend the appropriate guest partition and volume into the newly available space
  4. D.Run Optimize-VHD and assume compaction expands the Windows volume
Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

  • Extend the appropriate guest partition and volume into the newly available space

VHDX expansion increases disk capacity, but the guest partition and supported filesystem must also extend into the adjacent space. Optimize-VHD compacts eligible files; another virtual-disk expansion still leaves old partition boundaries; a checkpoint does not extend the guest volume.
