exch 2010 vsphere 4 Dell Equallogics 4100 - increase Storage adn Vol

Any issues with adding space to a san vol, increasing the storage capacity in vsphere and then extending the windows partion I should be weary of.  My c drive is at two gigs and my transportreceipt monitor caused mail to stop comign in due to reporting low resources.  changed that flag to not monitor and all was flowing again, but want to add about 10gig space to the c volume uppig the 2 that's there.  yes 2.5 exact isn't enough for the transportreceipt monitoring apparently.(found that on the internet).  Thx

Should be straight forward, increase the LUN space on the SAN, click properties on the datastore, click Increase, select LUN with additional space, follow wizard.

make sure you rescan and refresh for datastore properties to change.

edit VM, disk size, increase to size, just be careful no snapshots assigned to parent disk.

later in OS, Disk Management select partition Expand.

Just make sure you have a full backup of VM, before partition and disk changes.
