    Hi all,

    I have one (01) vDISK with two partitions c:\ & d:\. (look at the picture)

    The quest OS is Windows Server 2003

    OS hypervisor is ESXi 6.0

    i need to increase (D) partition space ?

    My plan is:

    1- Poweroff VM

    2- Export VM to make backup

    3- extend vdisk space

    4- Poweron VM

    5-Go to disk management of VM OS

    6- Select (d) volume and increase the capacity

    7-reboot VM

    is't correct this way?

    Think you

    A backup is always a good idea, although it is possible to increase the virtual disk and the D:\ partition online in this case.
