Nutanix makes Management tasks related to virtual disks easy, simple and efficient using CLI. So, what are the situations in which you might need to perform VM Disk management actions if you’re an administrator?

What if you need to increase the size of a VM Disk?

• Created a Disk but now need to clone it to different VMs!

Need to create an image from a VM disk?

• Created a VM with the wrong BUS Type!

Do we need to change the index of IDE disk?

• We all have faced a situation in which we might need to insert an ISO to a CD ROM or eject a CD ROM
• We have created a Volume Group and now need to manage the disks in the VG
