There are some situations when the PVS server can’t be reach from various reasons. In this case there is a workaround to create a vdisk from scratch and import to PVS server latter on.
In my scenario I will have a vmware infra there I will have the base image and i will attach another disk of 80 GB in order to accommodate the size of my new vdisk.
I log on to my machine where I will add my new disk and create a volume and it will look like that
On this image I already installed the target device 7.15
I navigate to c:\program files\citrix\ Provision Services and i will launch the P2PVS utility
As i said the PVS server is not available, I will choose the option from this machine to virtual disk v2 or v1 if you have an older PVS server version .
Select only the volume that you need to convert and proceed further
Select the destination for the new vdisk
And convert at the end you’ll have a functional vdisk that can be copied on a PVS server and imported to vdisk pool and use it.
