ESX Server – Expanding VM boot partition

Good article here.  Basically:

1. Shut down vm
2. Log onto ESX host via putty
3. Navigate to folder that vm files are in (/vmfs/volumes//
4. vmkfstools -X g .vmdk  (this will increase the size of the boot partition)
5. Boot vm
6. Shutdown vm cleanly
7. Attach gparted.iso to CD rom of VM
8. Boot vm
9. Resize boot partition (this will resize NTFS volume to fill expanded partition)
10. Save
11. Shutdown
12. Remove gparted.iso from CD
13. Reboot vm
