    Hi people,

    I'm having trouble expanding the disk on a vm.
    I don't know what work has been done previously on it, on the vmdk, if it's already cloned, etc. but the option to resize is blocked.

    I tried to expand with the vm off and update VMWare Tools, but no success.

    Can you help me?Screenshot_19.jpg

    If Snapshot is not needed delete the snapshot and  resize the disk.
