Re: Expand a Vdisk?
Yes, you can just increase the number in the "Requested".
The thing you ened to be careful with is your OS. Does your OS handle increases in Disk Size?
What OS do you have?

Re: Expand a Vdisk?
I would test it first with a 5gb test virtual disk presented to a test system, then increase it to say, 7gb, etc.
I've expanded an exchange data partition by 5gb on the fly by first increasing the virtual disk by 5gb, then using DISKPART. You also have to "Rescan for disks" in computer management\disk management.

Re: Expand a Vdisk?
Diskpart comes with Windows 2003 as part of the OS (same for Win XP).
DON'T try to use the 2000 version on 2003 or vice versa.
What OS are you running?

Re: Expand a Vdisk?
I have little experience with VVM, but I think you need to have a dynamic Disk in order to expand from witnin VEA. If you have the disk set up as a basic disk, you can still use diskpart.
