VMware的改变预分配硬盘空间的方法
把原来Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.vmdk从20g调整为30g，如果小于20g的话出现错误了，因为-x表示要扩展磁盘

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:
http://www.vmware.com/support/kb/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1647
预分配的话我们可以使用下面的命令：
C:Program FilesVMwareVMware Server>vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -r "F:Virtual Ma
chinesnode2Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.vmdk" -s 6Gb -t 2 "F:Virtual Machinesn
ode2Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4_1.vmdk"

g
Creating monolithic preallocated disk 'F:Virtual Machinesnode2Red Hat Enterpr
ise Linux 4_1.vmdk'
Convert: 100% done.
Virtual disk conversion successful.
不过从执行的结果来看我发现一下预分配了30g，而不是我制定的6g，所以使用预分配时要注意...

VMware的改变预分配硬盘空间的方法
如何扩展虚拟机的区间？
假设拟定vmware虚拟的在e分区的win2003下，那么转到vmware的安装目录下，运行
vmware-vdiskmanager -x 4Gb "E:vmwin2003Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.vmdk"
命令如下：
１假定vmware workstation安装在c盘下:
C:Program FilesVMwareVMware Workstation>vmware-vdiskmanager -x 4Gb "E:vmwin
2003Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.vmdk"
2 假定vmware server安装在d盘下:
d:Program FilesVMwareVMware Workstation>vmware-vdiskmanager -x 14Gb "E:vmwin
2003Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.vmdk"
Using log file C:DOCUME~1ADMINI~1LOCALS~1Tempvmware-Administratorvdiskmana

Grow: 100% done.
The old geometry C/H/S of the disk is: 261/255/63
The new geometry C/H/S of the disk is: 522/255/63
Disk expansion completed successfully.
vmware: D:Program FilesVMwareVMware Server>vmware-vdiskmanager -x 6gb "D:Virtual Mac
hinessusWindows 2000 Professional (2).vmdk"
参数 -x 表示要扩展虚拟机硬盘空间；紧随其后的数字指扩展到 的大小（如12Gb，表示磁盘总量，包含原来的磁盘容量）
参考一下：
VMware Virtual Disk Manager - build 12544.
Usage: vmware-vdiskmanager.exe OPTIONS diskName | drive-letter:
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 : 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 : convert the specified disk; need to specify
destination disk-type
-x : expand the disk to the specified capacity
Additional options for create and convert:
-a : adapter type (ide, buslogic or lsilogic)
-s : capacity of the virtual disk
-t : 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 m:
(A virtual disk first needs to be mounted at m:
using the VMware Diskmount Utility.)
