Anyone familiar with expanding disks in ESXi 4.0?
I migrated a VM from Microsoft VM Server using VMware's free converter
tool. The converter has an option to grow the disk (originally was
20Gb, now I want 50Gb) - when I try to grow via the converter - the
conversion always fails. The only way it works is to convert the VM as-
is. I thought once the VM was live in ESXi I could go back and
manually grow it to 50Gb, but the Hard Disk resource option for size
is always greyed out.
When the VM is down, I do "edit settings". Memory and CPU I can
change, but when I click Hard Disk, the size drop down is greyed out.
Just says Disk Provisioning: Thick, Provisioned Size: 20Gb. Maybe
there is an option I missed when doing the conversion.
Any ideas?
Thanks
John
