Is it possible to resize a virtual disk when I clone a virtual machine or deploy a new virtual machine from a template with VirtualCenter?

Solution

Resolution

If you would like to change the size of the virtual disk from the vSphere Client, see Change the Virtual Disk Configuration in the Basic System Administration Guide for the your version of VMware product.

If you would like to change the size of the virtual disk from the ESX 3.x service console, see Extending a Virtual Disk in the ESX Server Configuration Guide for the appropriate version of VMware product.

To change the size of the virtual disk from VMware Infrastructure Client:

Warning: First commit the snapshots (if any) for a virtual machine before expanding the disk. Otherwise, the virtual disk cannot use the snapshots after expansion.

Right click on the virtual machine and click Edit Settings.

In the Virtual Machine Properties Editor, click the Hardware tab.

Click the appropriate Hard Disk in the Hardware list.

To change the size of the disk, enter a new value in the New Size text box.

For independent mode, which is unaffected by snapshots, select the check box, then select Persistent or Nonpersistent mode to determine the persistence of changes.

Click OK to save your changes.

Additional Information

Additional steps may be required in order to allow your guest operating system to see the new space. All additional steps are guest OS specific and may require the use of 3rd party partitioning software. To allow your guest operating system to see the additional space, see the guest operating system documentation or contact vendor support.

For related information, see Adding Space to an ESX Server Virtual Disk (994).
