Dear Andre, the GUI works like a charm. Everything works ok now. Thank's a lot for support. Regards, Claudio.
Ok. So I will try the GUI. In the /dev/sdb I've only one primary partition, so I think I'm not in either scenario of the Kb. If else fail i will restore from backup (sgrat, sgrat ).
Dear Andre, no change. But this is my ls -al from /vmfs/devices/disks: ls -al /vmfs/devices/disks/ total 644579329 drwx------ 1 root root 512 Aug 3 14:46 . drwx------ ... See more...

Do you understand?
There's something not correct. Don't know what but this is the output: vmkfstools -Z /vmfs/devices/disks/vmhba0\:1\:0\:2 /vmfs/devices/disks/vmhba0\:1\:0\:2 VMware ESX Server Question: ... See more...

When I try to do it from the GUI I've the warning message: But what will happen? Do it delete only the new partition or all the contents??!

Well I've got the complete backup of vm Thank's for supporting Andre. Have a nice day. Kind regards, Claudio.

Thank' s a lot so much Andre. Now seems the problem is solved. In the 'add extent' after deleting the partition /dev/sdb2 (and only after deleting it) I saw the 136Gb space to use. Only one more question: can I do it with virtual machine up and running or I can't do it while the employes working? Regards, Claudio.

Dear Andre, thank's a lot for supporting me I've created the partition with fdisk cause I thought that I could create a Storage2 area. From your answer I suppose that delete the partition /dev/sdb2 is the solution now and then use the vmkfstool to extend. Right? Regards.

Dear friends, I've done a RAID5 expansion via IBM raid manager on a Vmware esx 3.0.1 machine and added a new 143Gb disk to the RAID5. After that I've used esxcfg-rescan, esxcfg-vmhbadevs and fdisk to create a new partition in the empty space. Now my fdisk -l looks like this (I've also a /dev/sda but that's not important): Disk /dev/sdb: 586.7 GB, 586764255232 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 71336 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 53502 429754783+ fb Unknown /dev/sdb2 53503 71336 143251605 fb Unknown Now, the /dev/sdb1 is what I see in Vmclient as a Storage1 and where I put all my vm. I need to create a Storage2 using /dev/sdb2 and see it in Vmclient as Storage2 for storing new vm. Is it possible? How do I do that? Regards, Claudio.

Hi all! I'm trying to use a perl script for backing up my virtual machine. Every time I try to start the script an error occur. It require VMware-VmPerlAPI. The script faq say it is on a VmWare ESX cdrom but I don't find it. Any help about that? Thank's a lot for any support.
