		<description><![CDATA[Last week I run into free disk space problem on my Windows Server 2003 virtual machine and today on another virtual machine running Windows Server 2008 I encountered same thing again. The virtual disk was sized for 10GB and only 80MB was free. The virtual machine is running Windows Server 2008 and Microsoft enhanced the feature for extending basic disk volumes on the fly. In my previous post I needed to add the virtual disk to another server; assign a drive letter and than run the extend option in diskpart. Within VI client extend the &#34;Hard Disk&#34; in the properties of the virtual machine to desired and planned size and goto Computer Management / Storage / Disk Management, right-click and Refresh. &#160; The additional defined disk space will be shown as &#34;Unallocated&#34;. Right-click on the C:\ volume and choose &#34;Extend Volume&#34;. Follow the wizard and within seconds the basic volume has been extended. Thanks to VMWare ESX and Microsoft Server 2008 our lives as System Engineers is becoming easier. As lesson learned size your virtual environment appropriate and especially the Hard Disk configuration. &#160; Related links: Technet &#8211; Extend a Basic Volume]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I was working to move a virtual machine test network to production. Before bringing this virtual machine into production I wanted to run the latest updates and during that process my virtual hard disk become full. When I created this virtual machine I configured the initial disk space 6GB. VMWare ESX allows you to extend the virtual disk size on a running virtual machine. How to extend the virtual disk size? Right click on the virtual machine in the VI cleint; choose settings and go to &#8220;Hard Disk 1&#8243; and type new disk size. Click OK. Example of my new Disk Configuration in &#8220;Disk Management&#8221;. To extend the virtual disk we need to go to diskpart and extend the volume. I opened command prompt and opened diskpart; selected the volume and run extend. My virtual hard disk was full and I was not able to extend my basic disk with the additional 2GB. I found the following two solutions how to extend the hard disk. Solution 1 Thanks to Kalpesh Prajapati post I was able to find a solution to my problem. Follow these steps to extend your virtual machine basic hard disk: Shutdown the virtual machine Extend the virtual disk size Add the harddisk to another virtual machine and start it up (second virtual machine) Open command prompt and start diskpart.exe list volumes and select the volume with the disk problem extend the disk Make sure the volume has a drive letter assigned otherwise same warning will be ...]]></description>
