Hi,
I'm beginner in VM
We would like to increase the size of VM machine as below, 59GB to 100GB. Would it be possible??
[root@orsev01 ~]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 59.0 GB, 59055800320 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7179 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 2611 20972826 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 2612 5222 20972857+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 5223 6527 10482412+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 6528 7179 5237190 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 6528 7179 5237158+ 83 Linux
it looks like you have 1 disk and made multiple partitions
would like to increase size of disk? yes you can if you have enough space on datastore.
depending on OS, you may need to shutdown VM to increase disk.
on vCenter, select VM which you would like to increase -> right click "edit setting" --> change number on hard disk as you wish.
or you can add additional disk.
after that, you also may need to resize partitions if change change number on hard disk.
Hi,
Below is the easiest way
1. Edit Settings of VM
2. Increase the HDD size
3. Boot with gparted bootable cd and you can easily increase the partition size
