I'm afraid this has been implemented poorly!<br />
<br />
You should really be using DISKS and not OS Partitions.<br />
<br />
OS Partitions are legacy....<br />
<br />
You should have<br />
<br />
C: System OS ---&gt; First VMDK (disk)<br />
D: Exchange DB --&gt; Second VMDK (disk)<br />
E: Logs ---&gt; Third VMDK (disk)<br />
<br />
The above helps with performance, and also disk expansion.<br />

You should have

C: System OS ---> First VMDK (disk)
D: Exchange DB --> Second VMDK (disk)
E: Logs ---> Third VMDK (disk)

The above helps with performance, and also disk expansion.

I have a VM Exchange server 2013(windows 2012) under ESXI server. Unfortunally not to much space . <br />
<br />
Exchange DATABASEs (.edb) under E:\ . &nbsp;C:\ drive divided 2 diffrent partition . E:\ is for .edb databases &nbsp;and exchange Logs. Please look at the Picture.<br />
<br />
<br />
I plan to extend only E:\ drive to 150 gb under esxi(vsphere) .<br />
my first question is : can i extend E:\ drive where all our .edb databases? <br />
<br />
Thanks

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Exchange

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.
