Issue/Introduction

Resolution

Hot extension of a shared vVol disk is supported with ESXi 8.0 Update 2 or later only. 

This allows you to increase the size of a shared disk without deactivating the cluster.

Extending the size of shared vVol disk is a two step process.

• First, you must increase the size of the shared vVol disk using vCenter.
• Then extend the partition size of the disk from the guest OS.
