VMWare: Hard drive allocated less than licensed VM storage volume

Hi,

I just upgraded my VMWare FM to 5.4.3. Now, in the dashboard I see message "hard drive allocated for this VM instance...is less than the licensed VM storage volume...". Does anyone know how to resize the volume? The disk size set in VMWare is even larger than the licensed volume size.

Thanks,

Perhaps you changed the size of the assigned disk after VM installation? Because if so, the FMG VM will not reflect that change. It only records the virtual disk size at the time of VM installation. After that, the correct method for expanding available disk size is to extend the disk space across multiple virtual disks using "exec lvm extend".
