Hi,<br />
<br />
I have VM running but I dont have access to the vSphere... so is there a way to add virtual disks using command lines throught the RedHat installed (SSH) instead of vSphere?<br />
<br />
This is how I would do using vSphere:<br />
<br />
Select &nbsp; &gt;&nbsp; &nbsp;&gt; &nbsp; &gt;&nbsp; VM Edit settings Add Harddisk<br />
Create new virtual disk<br />
Select the appropriate Capacity Disk.<br />
Disk Provisioning should be &quot;Thick Provision Lazy Zeroed&quot; unless fault tolerance is enabled.<br />
Select &quot;Specify a datastore or datastore cluster:&quot; and browse for the appropriate datastore<br />
For Mode select Independant - Persistent<br />
Verify that the setup is correct and click Finish<br />
<br />
=======<br />
<br />
Tks,<br />

Hi,

I have VM running but I dont have access to the vSphere... so is there a way to add virtual disks using command lines throught the RedHat installed (SSH) instead of vSphere?

This is how I would do using vSphere:

Select   >   >   >  VM Edit settings Add Harddisk
Create new virtual disk
Select the appropriate Capacity Disk.
Disk Provisioning should be "Thick Provision Lazy Zeroed" unless fault tolerance is enabled.
Select "Specify a datastore or datastore cluster:" and browse for the appropriate datastore
For Mode select Independant - Persistent
Verify that the setup is correct and click Finish

VMware command line - add/scan virtual disks

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
