Can't extend vmdk on vvol MS Cluster

[it_support_qund]

I have this problem when I want to enlarge a volume. The file is on a vVol. The volume is used in a Microsoft file server cluster.

Task Name: VirtualMachine.reconfigure.label

Status:

 The disk extend operation failed: The virtual disk requires a feature not supported by this program Hot-extend is currently supported only for VMFS flat virtual disks without snapshots opened in persistent mode.

Error stack:

 The disk extend operation failed: The virtual disk requires a feature not supported by this program

Hey @it_support_qund,

I believe this is happening to you cause of the shared disk usage, nothing related to the VVol itself. If that is your case, you will need to shutdown the cluster and follow the steps listed here:
