you dont need vCenter server to expand you datastores. This is what you need to do.
Connect to the ESX server using VI client
Go to the configuration tab
select storage adaptors...click rescan.
now go to storage... select the datastore you want to expand.
right click on the datastore and go to properties.
Click on the Increase button. This will show the extended storage size. go next next.
