扩大虚拟机的硬盘大小方法

新建虚拟机时，为ubuntu划分出了15G的硬盘大小，经过一段时间的折腾，再加上这段时间安装QT，15G的硬盘大小明显不够用了，只剩下2G的大小。所以想到将硬盘扩大。下面给出一种硬盘扩大的方法。

具体操作如下:

1、开始-->运行 输入 cmd

2、set path=d:/vmware/vmware workstation

其中d:/vmware/vmware workstation是VMware的安装路径。

3、切换到ubuntu硬盘的存放目录，我的是存放在F:/ubuntu下。即：cd f:/ubuntu

4、查看当前目录下的*.vmdk文件。使用 dir 命令即可。可以看到你要修改的虚拟机硬盘的文件，我的是ubuntu.vmdk

5、修改虚拟机硬盘的大小。使用如下命令：

vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -x 20Gb "ubuntu.vmdk"

其中vmware-vdiskmanager.exe是VMware自带的硬盘管理工具，x是扩大硬盘的大小，20Gb是扩大到的大小，ubuntu.vmdk是要扩大的虚拟硬盘名称。

6、等待差不多30分钟。与机器的性能有关。等到系统出现如下提示，操作完成。

附：给出vmware-vdiskmanager.exe的一些帮助文件

VMware Virtual Disk Manager - build 118166.
Usage: vmware-vdiskmanager.exe OPTIONS <disk-name> | <mount-point>
Offline disk manipulation utility
  Operations, only one may be specified at a time:
     -c                   : create disk.  Additional creation options must
                            be specified.  Only local virtual disks can be
                            created.
     -d                   : defragment the specified virtual disk. Only
                            local virtual disks may be defragmented.
     -k                   : shrink the specified virtual disk. Only local
                            virtual disks may be shrunk.
     -n <source-disk>     : rename the specified virtual disk; need to
                            specify destination disk-name. Only local virtual
                            disks may be renamed.
     -p                   : prepare the mounted virtual disk specified by
                            the drive-letter for shrinking.
     -r <source-disk>     : convert the specified disk; need to specify
                            destination disk-type.  For local destination disks
                            the disk type must be specified.
     -x <new-capacity>    : expand the disk to the specified capacity. Only
                            local virtual disks may be expanded.
     -R                   : check a sparse virtual disk for consistency and atte
mpt
                            to repair any errors.

  Other Options:
     -q                   : do not log messages

  Additional options for create and convert:
     -a <adapter>         : (for use with -c only) adapter type
                            (ide, buslogic or lsilogic)
     -s <size>            : capacity of the virtual disk
     -t <disk-type>       : disk type id

  Options for remote disks:
     -h <hostname>        : hostname of remote server
     -u <username>        : username for remote server
     -f <filename>        : file containing password
     -P <port>            : optional TCP port number (default: 902)
     -S                   : specifies that the source disk is remote, by default

                            the remote options are assumed to refer to the
                            destination.
  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
      4                   : preallocated ESX-type virtual disk
      5                   : compressed disk optimized for streaming

     The capacity can be specified in sectors, KB, MB or GB.
     The acceptable ranges:
                           ide adapter : [1MB, 950.0GB]
                           scsi adapter: [1MB, 950.0GB]

下面是8个例子：

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 -r sourceDisk.vmdk -t 4 -h esx-name.mycomp any.com -u username -f passwordfile "[storage1]/path/to/targetDisk.vmdk"
ex 7: vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -k myDisk.vmdk
ex 8: vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -p <mount-point>
       (A virtual disk first needs to be mounted at <mount-point>)
