Vmware-cmd command

[nonu]

Hi everyone,

While reading through the vmworld 2007 Presentation "TOP Support Issues and How to Resolve them batch 2" and while testing the disk expansion issue with disks which has snapshots attached.

there is a command mentioned in Slide 40.

"Expanding VM With a Snapshot

Grow the VMDK file

*command : #vmware-cmd -X 6GB test.vmdk" ** *

I tried to replicate the issue and when I gave this command it was not accepting it as a valid command,

Can someone clarify, if it's actually a valid command or it's just somethig which was ment to be vmkfstools?

Thanks.

Those arguments are for /usr/sbin/vmkfstools and not for /usr/bin/vmware-cmd

that's what I am saying,was the presentation wrong?

so instead of using vmware-cmd -x we should use vmkfstools -X and then we will also have to provide another value which is higher the the current size of the disk file.
