Hi Bhanu,

Are you trying to Deploy From Template but to Increase the Disk , if so a simple

```auto
vm_disk:
      disk1:
        size_gb: 10
        type: thin
        datastore: storage001

```

```auto
What is not supported is the decrease the disk size 

```

Than you so much … I was thinking that’s for additional disk, but not for OS disk … It worked …

disk:

- size\_gb: 60  
type: thin  
datastore: “test”

Thanks and Regards
