CHAPTER 3 Using VMware Tools

Shrinking Virtual Disks with VMware Tools
The Shrink tab gives you access to the controls you need if you wish to reclaim unused
space in a virtual disk.
In some configurations, it is not possible to shrink virtual disks. If your virtual machine
uses such a configuration, the Shrink tab displays information explaining why you
cannot shrink your virtual disks.
For more information about shrinking virtual disks, see Defragmenting and Shrinking
Virtual Disks on page 168.

• The VMware Tools build number, which lets you verify your VMware Tools
version matches the GSX Server version you are running. The build number is
also useful when you request support.
