VmWare虚拟机增加硬盘容量的方法(转载)

刘伟

界面中并没有提供增加硬盘容量的方法。

只能在命令行形式下执行。

安装所在盘的Program Files\VMware\VMware Workstation下有一个vmware-vdiskmanager.exe，就是它。

命令参数如下：
------------------------------------------------------------------
Usage: vmware-vdiskmanager.exe OPTIONS <disk-name> | <mount-point>

Offline disk manipulation utility

   Options:
      -c                    : create disk; need to specify other create options
      -d                    : defragment the specified virtual disk
      -k                    : shrink the specified virtual disk
      -n <source-disk>      : rename the specified virtual disk; need to
                             specify destination disk-name
      -p                    : prepare the mounted virtual disk specified by
                             the drive-letter for shrinking
      -q                    : do not log messages
      -r <source-disk>      : convert the specified disk; need to specify
                             destination disk-type
      -x <new-capacity>     : expand the disk to the specified capacity

      Additional options for create and convert:
         -a <adapter>       : (for use with -c only) adapter type (ide, buslogic o
r lsilogic)
         -s <size>          : capacity of the virtual disk
         -t <disk-type>     : disk type id

      Disk types:
         0                  : single growable virtual disk
         1                  : growable virtual disk split in 2Gb files
         2                  : preallocated virtual disk
         3                  : preallocated virtual disk split in 2Gb files

      The capacity can be specified in sectors, Kb, Mb or Gb.
      The acceptable ranges:
                            ide adapter : [100.0Mb, 950.0Gb]
                            scsi adapter: [100.0Mb, 950.0Gb]

         ex 1: vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -c -s 850Mb -a ide -t 0 myIdeDisk.vmdk
         ex 2: vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -d myDisk.vmdk
         ex 3: vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -r sourceDisk.vmdk -t 0 destinationDisk.vm
dk
         ex 4: vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -x 36Gb myDisk.vmdk
         ex 5: vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -n sourceName.vmdk destinationName.vmdk
         ex 6: vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -k myDisk.vmdk
         ex 7: vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -p <mount-point>
               (A virtual disk first needs to be mounted at <mount-point>)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
其中的-x参数就是用来扩容的……

如这个：vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -x 36Gb myDisk.vmdk
-------------------------------------------------------

我的执行过程：

  　　D:\Program files\VMware\VMware Workstation>vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -x 12GB "F:\W
indows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition\Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.vmd
k"
Using log file C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\vmware-Administrator\vdiskmana
ger.log
  Grow: 100% done.
The old geometry C/H/S of the disk is: 1044/255/63
The new geometry C/H/S of the disk is: 1566/255/63
Disk expansion completed successfully.
　　WARNING: If the virtual disk is partitioned, you must use a third-party
         utility in the virtual machine to expand the size of the
         partitions. For more information, see:

==================================================================
总结一下：
1。文件名应该用双引号括起来。
2。vmdk文件名要连同路径。
3。GB，MB，别忘了B。
