HI Abhijeet,

Thanks a lot for your script, I need one more help that after VM HDD space increased on VM level, we need to perform some task on OS level to see the additional disk space, do you have any ansible script or any help from you.

Cheers

What kind of tasks do you need to run on the OS level? You can either use vmware_vm_shell to run command or add that VM as ansible host using add_host and run command in subsequent plays.

I don’t think vmware support to resize the disk by decrease the volume size directly. Likely the disk shrink already removed some file systems from OS and cause the OS not able to boot up.

Thanks and Best Regards,
