Hi <br />
<br />
I have installed a new Virtual infrastructure &nbsp;and have installed vSphere 6.7.0 3 <br />
VMware tools has been installed on this server. <br />
<br />
The default size of the Hard disk 1 is 40 GB, where the windows OS is installed. I would like to increase the space from 40GB to 100 GB.<br />
<br />
I went to Vsphere console and -Powered off the VM - Right click the VM - Edit settings and if i expand the Hard disk 1 and i am not able to increase the &nbsp;size of the hard disk here.<br />
It show a red stop sign on the mouse cursor.<br />
<br />
Not sure why this is happening and is there a way i can increase the space on this Hard disk?<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks and any help will be great.

Not able to increase the size of the Hard disk on a VM on VMware Vsphere 6.7

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

vSphere

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.
