The capacity of a VMware Server 2.0 virtual disk may be increased from within the VMware Infrastructure (VI) Web Access management interface. This is a web based interface which can be accessed by starting a browser, either on the host system on which VMware Server is running, or on any other system which has network access to from the hostcommand-line using the ''vmware-vdiskmanager'' tool. Bioth of these approaches will be covered in this tutorial.
== Accessing Extending a VMware Virtual Disk from the Command Line == The size of a VMware virtual disk may be increased from the command line using the ''vmware-vdiskmanager'' tool. The executable file is named ''vmware-vdiskmanager'' and is located in ''\Program Files\VMware\VMware Server'' on Windows hosts, and ''/usr/bin'' on Linux systems. The syntax for increasing the size of a virtual disk is as follows: vmware-vdiskmanager -x ''<size>'' ''filename''.vmdk where ''<size>'' is the new size of the disk and ''filename.vmdk'' is the name of the physical virtual disk image file on the host. For example, to increase the size of a virtual disk called win2008.vmdk to 100GB: <pre>vmware-vdiskmanager -x 100GB win2008.vmdk</pre>  == Extending a Virtual Disk using VI Web Access ==
During the VMware Server 2.0 installation process, the installer prompted for port numbers to be used for both HTTP and HTTPS based access to the VI Web Access interface. The defaults suggested were 8222 and 8333 respectively. If other ports were specified during installation the following examples will need to be modified accordingly.
