只能在命令行形式下执行。
安装所在盘的Program Files/VMware/VMware Workstation下有一个vmware-vdiskmanager.exe,就是它。
命令参数如下:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Usage: vmware-vdiskmanager.exe OPTIONS <disk-name> | <mount-point>
Offline disk manipulation utility
Options:
-c : create disk; need to specify other create options
-d : defragment the specified virtual disk
-k : shrink the specified virtual disk
-n <source-disk> : rename the specified virtual disk; need to
specify destination disk-name
-p : prepare the mounted virtual disk specified by
the drive-letter for shrinking
-q : do not log messages
-r <source-disk> : convert the specified disk; need to specify
destination disk-type
-x <new-capacity> : expand the disk to the specified capacity
Additional options for create and convert:
-a <adapter> : (for use with -c only) adapter type (ide, buslogic o
r lsilogic)
-s <size> : capacity of the virtual disk
-t <disk-type> : disk type id
Disk types:
0 : single growable virtual disk
1 : growable virtual disk split in 2Gb files
2 : preallocated virtual disk
3 : preallocated virtual disk split in 2Gb files
The capacity can be specified in sectors, Kb, Mb or Gb.
The acceptable ranges:
ide adapter : [100.0Mb, 950.0Gb]
scsi adapter: [100.0Mb, 950.0Gb]
ex 1: vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -c -s 850Mb -a ide -t 0 myIdeDisk.vmdk
ex 2: vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -d myDisk.vmdk
ex 3: vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -r sourceDisk.vmdk -t 0 destinationDisk.vm
dk
ex 4: vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -x 36Gb myDisk.vmdk
ex 5: vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -n sourceName.vmdk destinationName.vmdk
ex 6: vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -k myDisk.vmdk
ex 7: vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -p <mount-point>
(A virtual disk first needs to be mounted at <mount-point>)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
其中的-x参数就是用来扩容的……
如这个:vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -x 36Gb myDisk.vmdk
-------------------------------------------------------
我的执行过程:
D:/Program files/VMware/VMware Workstation>vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -x 12GB "F:/W
indows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition/Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.vmd
k"
Using log file C:/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/vmware-Administrator/vdiskmana
ger.log
Grow: 100% done.
The old geometry C/H/S of the disk is: 1044/255/63
The new geometry C/H/S of the disk is: 1566/255/63
Disk expansion completed successfully.
WARNING: If the virtual disk is partitioned, you must use a third-party
utility in the virtual machine to expand the size of the
partitions. For more information, see:

==================================================================
总结一下:
1。文件名应该用双引号括起来。
2。vmdk文件名要连同路径。
3。GB,MB,别忘了B。
