increase datastore of ESX
I am trying to increase the capacity of ESX Datastore from 32.50GB to 113 GB as shown in the screenshot.
When I click the increase button, it opens up a window but nothing shows up in the window.
ANy help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Yes, I thought as much, screenshot does not change anything, other than this is VMware Fusion.
Your options:-
1. Rebuild your ESXi server, creating a vitual disk of 1GB for the ESXi installation, and then create another disk, with the correct datastore size.
2. See original article, that you understood, on how to increase the vmfs partition size, using
partedUtil
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28208484/Extending-Local-Datastore-of-ESXi-5-0.html
3. Add a new disk to ESXi VM, and either use this disk, as datastore2, or ADD this disk to datastore1.
Once you have added a new disk to the VM, after a shutdown of ESXi, you should be able to add this disk, to existing disk, to increase the datastore size....
e.g. you will then see a disk in the box,which is not showing anything at present.
Do you understand your options?
