We may often start on VMware systems with a relatively small hard disk and later decide that we need more space. This procedure outlines increasing the space.

Make sure that you have flattened all the VMware snapshots if any. The procedure for this is outside the scope of this document
Increase the Disk size in VMware settings to the required size
Increase the partition size with fdisk
Increase the file system size with resize2fs
...
A similar procedure would apply to decreasing the disk size except steps 2-4 would be in the opposite order (and increase would become decrease)

You can check if there are any snapshots by using the vCenter/vSphere GUI and looking at Manage Snapshots. If there is only one - the initial disk you can proceed, otherwise you’ll need to flatten the snapshots.
...
If the option to increase the Disk Size in VMware settings is greyed out, then generally this is due to the flattening of the snapshots not being completely correct.

Use the vSphere or vCenter GUIs to increase the size of the virtual disk, but note that this will have no effect on the actual available space for the INE/NE-ONE until the next two steps are completed.

Login to the INE/NE-ONE console or via ssh (PuTTY)(username itrinegy) and exit the menu.
...
At this point the kernel is still working on the old layout so reboot the INE/NE-ONE VM
$ sudo reboot

This turns out to be the simplest of the steps and can be accomplished even with the INE/NE-ONE running - no reboots required.
