In Windows Server 2008 R2 go to Server Manager, Storage, Disk Management. At this point you have increased the size of the disk in VMware but you need to do the same in the operating system.For example, if you have two disks and you want to increase the size for drive C from 30 to 50GB and drive D from 20 to 25GB, increase the size using the up arrow and then click OK. On the right hand side, under Disk Provisioning increase the Provisioned Size then click OK.On the Hardware tab select the virtual hard disk (e.g.Right click the VM and select Edit Settings.Select the VM that’s running out of disk space.Make sure your ESXi 4.1 server has been backed up.NOTE: The option to Edit Settings will be grayed out if you are in the middle of deleting a snapshot. Once that is take care of, you need to edit the VM’s settings. You must power off the VM and then delete the snapshots before you can expand the disks. You select Edit Settings and select the hard disk that is running out of disk space but the option to expand the disk is grayed out. You go to the vSphere Client utility and select the VM. Over the last few months you have taken a dozen snapshots. After a few months you realize that you have installed a lot of programs and your VM hard disk is running out of space. Your ESXi server’s hard disk is 1TB in size and you have a VM running a Windows Server 2008 R2 guest operating system that has two drives, a 30GB drive C and a 20GB drive D. Let’s use the following scenario as an example. Keep in mind that increasing the size of the VM is different than increasing the size of the disk partition on the host computer. But if you have any snapshots, it can be a pain. vCenter Single Sign-On installer reports the error.If you are running VMware ESXi 4.1 you can increase the size of the virtual machine (VM) relatively easily once you know how.Disabling or turning Off VMware FT (1008026).Raw Device Mapping option is greyed out (1017704).Understanding the vSphere Web Client Architecture.Unlocking and resetting the vCenter Single Sign On.Repointing and reregistering VMware vCenter Server.ESXi/ESX host disconnects from vCenter Server 60 s.ESXi/ESX host disconnects from vCenter Server afte.Configure vCenter Administrator as an SSO admin.Configure the vSphere Web Client Timeout Value.Configure the vSphere Web Client to Bypass vCenter.This is expected behavior because the RDM filter only applies to Fiber Channel, FCoE and iSCSI. This requires that the checkbox RdmFilter.HbaShared is deselected in order to use a LUN as RDM. You are using an external shared SAS storage array like the Dell MD32xx.For more information, see Configuring advanced options for ESX/ESXi (1038578). To deselect this option, click Configuration > Software > Advanced Settings > RDM Filter, deselect the option, then click OK. The option RdmFilter.HbaShared is selected in ESX/ESXi 4.1 or 5.x.For more information, see Creating Raw Device Mapping (RDM) is not supported for local storage (1017530). You are using a SAS Direct Attached Storage (DAS) array that is being detected as Local Storage.For more information, see Performing a rescan of the storage (1003988). Rescan your storage to pick up the changes. vCenter Server has an older cache of known devices which can be used for RDMs, not including the intended LUN.They may have already been committed to storing VMFS, or have already been mapped to other virtual machines as RDMs. There are no available LUNs to be presented to an ESX/ESXi host.F or more information, see Comparing Types of Storage in the Configuration Guide for your version of VMware ESX. Your storage type does not support RDMs.The Raw Device Mapping (RDM) option is greyed out if:
