Experts,
My scenario is as follows...
Hardware : HP Proliant Server with RAID 5 with 3 physical Disks and 32GB RAM
Software : VMware ESXi 5
VM's : Exchange 2013 running on Windows 2012 Server with all roles installed on this server & Windows 2008 Additional Domain Controller.
Now the question is Exchange 2013 is running out of storage. How to increase?
Note: Am already in process of procuring 3 Physical disks.
Your speedy help is highly appreciated.

hi do the following:
shutdown VM
shutdown esxi host
insert additional diks
power up and go to intelligent provisioning
start hp array config utility and add the disks to the raid
extend logical drive
boot the esxi up and resize the datastore
extend the vmdk and windows FS
hope this helps
Thanks for reply.
How to resize the data store? and extend the vmdk file?
And in this process will there be any data loss for the Exchange VM?
