Check How to Increase VMware Disc Space
When you create a virtual hard disk in VirtualBox or VMware, you define a maximum disk size. If you need more hard disk space for your virtual machine later, you will have to increase the virtual hard disk and partition.
Note that you may want to keep a backup of your virtual hard disk file before doing these operations, as there is always the possibility that something will go wrong, so it is always best to have backup copies.
How to add disk space in VMware
Prerequisites
- the virtual disk should not be mapped or mounted.
- the virtual machine should not have snapshots.
- the virtual machine must not be a linked clone or the parent of a linked clone.
This is how you can expand a virtual hard disk:
- Shut down the virtual machine.
- Select the virtual machine from the library and go to Player> Manage> Virtual Machine Settings.
- Select the virtual hard disk to expand and click Expand.
- Set the new maximum size for the virtual hard disk. A size can be between 0.001 GB and 2 TB.
- Click OK after the process is complete.
You will then need to use a disk management utility in the guest operating system to increase the size of the disk partition to match the size of the expanded virtual disk.
