Adding storage to offline disk (out of capacity)

[Guest /u/Minute_Weekend_8055]

Hey All,

 

I'm confused here, I'm guessing I set up my VM hd incorrectly. I have a 20TB storage pool and a hyper-v setup. I set up one virtual disk to store my virtual machines H: Drive in and then a seperate virtual disk to store my video archive data in V: Drive. I gave the V: Drive 12TB of storage thin provisioned. I then created the archive.vhdx inside of the V: drive set to 6TB - also dynamic expanding. The V:drive shows 6TB free, the Pool shows 12TB free, however over the weekend the VM was in the paused-critical state because the archive.vhdx is out of storage, and now my entire V: drive is offline saying error, The disk is offline because it is out of capacity. I thought I needed to make a virtual disk in order to store the .vhdx file, but it seems like they are just both counting against the storage pool even though everything is reporting free space. How did I screw this up and is there anyway for me to be able to restore this data without deleting the virtual disk and starting over?

 

Thanks for any help
