Use the vmkfstools command to get information about the geometry of a virtual disk.
-g|--geometry
The output is in the form: Geometry information C/H/S
, where C
represents the number of cylinders, H
represents the number of heads, and S
represents the number of sectors.
Note: When you import virtual disks from hosted VMware products to the
ESXi host, you might see a disk geometry mismatch error message. A disk geometry mismatch might also trigger problems when you load a guest operating system or run a newly created virtual machine.
