asked on
vmdk file
We have a server with several vmdk files which are mounted to mount point. E:\Data
From time to time the developer comes to me asking me to increase the space . This become a regular routine so I did show the way I do to him , but it is too much for him !! that is, increase the vmdk file then windows device manager scan the disk expand etc. If data store run out of space I asked him to go into storage and expand the lun , rescan , increase etc.
Is there any easy way with mouse click anyone can increase the windows disk? For a Tech who does not know VMware.
We have netapp,emc and EqualLogic.

This on EMC vnx , I installed VSI but it does not have an option to increase vmdk and expand the disk at OS level like snapdrive!
