Issues expanding vmdk using vmkfstools

So I haven't had to expand a drive in a while and my preferred (comfortable method) is to use vmkfstools. When I runt he command I'm getting a error message back "Invalid length specifier: /vmfs/volumes/LUN4/ADM*****/ADM*****.vmdk"

I'm running the command "vmkfstools -X /vmfs/volumes/LUN4/ADM*****/ADM*****.vmdk 30g" Am I missing something complete stupid?

Yea I'm just stupid, figured out my mess the size goes before the location of the vmdk file Smiley Happy yay for being "brain dead" on sunday
