Hi,

I want to exapnd vmdk file programmatically using webservices sdk.

Check out the ExtendVirtualDisk method on the VirtualDiskManager managed object type:

Thanks Steve for the reply.

I did use ExtendVirtualDisk_Task API to resize vmdk.

If a vmdk is not attached to a vm, the API successful.

However if a vmdk is attached to a vm, I am getting following error:

Failed to lock the file

Any idea/thoughts?
