Hi all,
has anybody tried to resize a virtual disk with the SDK? All my attempts seems not to have an impact at all.
I have applied the patch ESX-6921838 (adding support for resizing).
The essential part of the code is the following:
my $datastore = "VMFS_007";
my $host_moref = get_host("myhost");
my $ds_info = get_datastore(host_view => $host_moref, datastore => $datastore );
my $disk_backing_info = VirtualDiskFlatVer2BackingInfo->new(
diskMode => 'persistent',
datastore => $ds_info,
fileName => "/vmfs/volumes/VMFS_007/TESTDEPLOY/TESTDEPLOY.vmdk");
my $disk = VirtualDisk->new(backing => $disk_backing_info,
#key => -1,
capacityInKB => "12000");
my $disk_vm_dev_conf_spec = VirtualDeviceConfigSpec->new(device => $disk,
operation => VirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation->new('edit'));
\----
I try to set the new size of the disk to 12 GB
get_host and get_datastore works in other scripts.
I'm not getting any errormessage at all.
Hi and thank you for your response.
Actually i didn't call this, because i wanted to resize an existing disk, like with the vmkfstools, and I didn't thought that this is related to the actual VM.
I put in following lines:
\----
my $machine_vm_conf_spec = VirtualMachineConfigSpec->new(deviceChange => \[ $disk_vm_dev_conf_spec ] );
eval{
$vm_moref->ReconfigVM(spec => $machine_vm_conf_spec);
};
if ($@) { print "Reconfiguration failed.\n $@";}
else {print "Resize disk ok.\n"; }
\----
And it says that everything is ok, but when i check the vmdk-file, it still just has 4 gb (instead of 12 as expected). I think with the above code, I just make (temporarily) changes to the config-file of the VM, not to the vmdk-file.
Do you eventually have some sample-code to resize a vmdk-disk?
Best regards
Stefan
