How to increase HardDisk on a VM which is running on vCloud Director 6.7 via PowerCLI?

Hi all,

how canincrease HardDisk on a VM which is running on vCloud Director 6.7 via PowerCLI?

I guess the VMs HardDisk is based on a VMDK file, like on (vCenter) ESXi Hosts?

 

I can see the HardDisk Size and the VirtualQuantity here:

(Get-CIVM TestEB01).ExtensionData.getvirtualhardwaresection().Item | Where { $_.Description -like “Hard Disk”}

 

But i do not know how to increase the size?

Hi,

thanks for the answer.

Now i get an error:

("165000" = new Disk Size)

Exception calling "UpdateServerData" with "0" argument(s): "The reference 165000 cannot be parsed correctly. Reason: no server authority"
At line:17 char:1

What is "#text" ?

Do I have to replace it with a value or something?

#Modify the extension data with the new size
(($vm.ExtensionData.Section|where {$_-is [VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.OvfVirtualHardwareSection]}).item|where {$_.ResourceType.value-eq17}).hostresource[0].AnyAttr[0]."#text" = $newsize
