界面中并没有提供增加硬盘容量的方法。
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

==================================================================
总结一下:
1。文件名应该用双引号括起来。
2。vmdk文件用不带001,002的最短的那个文件名。
3。GB,MB,别忘了B。
需要强调的一点是,调整硬盘大小之后的效果,相当于增加了原来物理硬盘的柱面数目,因此,文件系统并不会自动增长。需要重新调整文件系统的大小。这一步不同的系统有不同的方法。比如
1. 如果guest OS为win系列,可以通过partion magic来实现
2. 如果guest OS为Linux系列,可以通过 resize2fs来扩大ext2/3格式的文件系统。
3. 如果guset OS为其他Unix系统,可以通过向文件树中新增加分区,来扩充原文件系统。
通过vm加盘的方法:在菜单栏哪里有个“VM”,点击“VM”里面有个“settings”或者直接用快捷键“Ctrl+D”,点击“Add”增加一个“Hard Disk”.加完后进入系统后,右击我的电脑选择“管理”进入后再选择“存储”中的“磁盘管理”。对你刚才新增加的硬盘进行快速格式化后,就可以为你原先的硬盘多增加一个盘符=已经扩大你原先的硬盘大小
