Increase VM disk in 6.7 web client

I wish to increase a VM disk size. Is this possible in the 6.7 web client?

I have searched but been unable to find how to do this.

Thanks in advance.

That's expected, and by design.

Virtual disks in ESXi consist of two files, a small header/descriptor .vmdk file, which contains metadata about the data file's disk name, size, geometry, etc., and the flat (in case of snapshots delta, or sesparse) .vmdk file, which contain user data.

It's the small descriptor .vmdk file, which is used in configuration (.vmx) files, and most commands that are available from the CLI.
