I have a RHEL VM which was 20Gb. It was running out of room and needs to be increased to 40Gb. I have successfully made the preallocated space increase using the following:
vmware-vdiskmanager -x 40Gb westonserv.vmdk
The server console correctly shows the size as 40Gb. So far, so good. But, when I can't seem to get the RHEL VM to see that extra 20Gb. I have tried using GParted and booted but it did not detect any drives. The logical volume manager shows no additional space to extend to.
Help!!! How can I get my VM to see this extra space?
