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.

If you have NetApp integration, and were using Snapdrive you can increase LUNs connected directly to the VM.

Do you have all the SAN integrations plugins ?

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!
