Managing Disks in VMware Multi-Tenant

Managing Disks in the VMware Multi-Tenant can be done through the same process as resizing a VM (see Resizing a VM in VMware Multi-Tenant). In addition to changing the size of the hard drive of a VM, you can also add additional drives as needed.

Resizing a Hard Drive in a VM

1. Log in to your Virtual Data Center (VDC). For help logging in, see Logging in to the VDC in VMware Multi-Tenant.
2. Click the box containing the details of the VDC that contains the VM you want to resize.
3. In the Virtual Machines section, click the name of the VM you want to resize. This will bring up the details for that VM.
4. Power Off the VM before attempting to make any changes.
5. In the Hard Disks section, click EDIT to adjust the size of a hard drive attached to the VM.

6. Adjust the size of the hard disk as needed. Click Save to save your changes.

7. Power on the VM. Adjust the disk size in the operating system to match the new size you specified.

Adding a Disk to a VM
