Managing Virtual Hard
Disks
You can add,
remove, and resize virtual hard disks.
If you want to add more disk
space to your virtual machine, you can resize your existing virtual hard disk,
or add a separate, additional hard disk.

AutoProtect snapshots in your virtual machine prevents you from making changes
to a virtual hard disk. You must delete the snapshots before you can make a
change.
