How to extend HDD in Linux Guest

Hi,

I got an Linux Guest (CentOS) in vSphere ESX 4.1

Now I got the HDD in VMware extended "physically" and fdisk in linux guest shows me the added space.

But my VolumeGroup (vg display) didn´t show me the new space. How can I extend the VolumeGroup?

vgextend <volume group> /dev/sd(x)(x)

pvscan (ensure you see the disk additional)

lvcreate -l 100%FREE -n <new lv name> <volume group>
