My one is Partition 3 which I would like to extend. I also did the same as I am not so much expert on VMware. You can take the reference from web interface to make sure about your VMFS.PartedUtil get "/vmfs/devices/disk s/mpx.vmhba0:C0:T0:L0" Use partedUtil to identify the existing partitions.In the following step, I have used mpxwhich you can replace as your datastore information.Hereby, your datastore may be different (eg: naa,mpx, eui etc.) For more information on it, I would recommend you to explore VMWare page.

After successfully connecting with your root password or administrator password, first, obtain the device identifier for your VMFS Datastore to be modified.Enable SSH so you can connect to the CLI of ESXi.Therefore, I thought to share it here by combining all of them and the proper steps that I have used so it will be helpful for other IT Engineer in the future.īefore continuing these steps, I would like to warn not to overlap any Primary and Logical partitions. I searched on lots of blogs and few of them were very helpful.
It is very easy to do from VMware ESXi web interface but I started getting an error even though I had enough size to increase.įailed to expand vmfs datastore – cannot change the host configuration. VMFS Datastores in vSphere ESXi can be increased in size by adding a new extent on a different storage device (spanning), or by increasing the size of the existing storage device and then growing the existing datastore extent to fill that available adjacent capacity. I had an extra HDD space which I would like to merge in my ESXi system to host more VMs. While I was working on ESXi 6.7.0, I ended up with an issue which I couldn’t resolve easily with the web interface of ESXi 6.7.0 or from vSphere Client.
