Note: I simulated these all steps on my home lab to take all necessary screenshots.Īfter logging into vSphere web client and below is the screenshot.

At first it looks like Virtual Machine Hardware Version is 11 and options cannot be edited through vSphere client they are restricted but hard disk size can be increased, reference article for the same. Today I received one of the escalated task from my junior to extend existing virtual hard disk on one of the VMware VM using vSphere client, I explored VM settings by right clicking, but found virtual HDD settings are grayed out and it is disabled.
