Metadata might have gotten corrupt and thus the volume cannot be added to your Volume Group. If you get a message saying /dev/sda3 could not be added to your Volume Group, you need to remove the physical volume and recreate it. $ vgextend EnterVolumeGroupNameHere /dev/sda3 This will give you the info on your current Volume Group. Now let's extend the server's Volume Group to that physical volume. Assuming you created partition /dev/sda3, let's now create the physical volume in that partition: Type w - to write changes and exit - Reboot server: Provide the partition number you previously created Type t - to change the partition type to "Linux LVM" if you got 2 partitions listed as /dev/sda1 & /dev/sda2, for the new partition simply type "3" to create /dev/sda3) Now restart the VM.ī) Login via SSH to the VM and follow this process. I'm assuming the process is the same for ESXi 4. Edit the VM's properties to increase the hard disk size (VM has to be off) - I won't get into details on that, if you have the experience on managing ESXi you know what to do.
A) Connect to the VMware ESXi 5 server using the vShpere Client.
