CentOS 5 and Increasing the size of a Disk in VMware Fusion

Published in

So you decide to increase the disk size in VMWare Fusion cause your running out of space or you just like to have room to breathe.

You head on to the settings of your VM and click on your Hard Disk and drag the slider across. W00t your done... um no.

Here's how I did it.

First after I increased the disk in the vmware via the settings gui and fired up the Leopard Terminal. I needed to set the guest to boot into an ISO on start. I typed the following:


vi /Volumes/External.Disk/Centos5OpenVZHost.vmwarevm/Centos5OpenVZHost.vmx

Leopard VMWare Fusion OpenVZ fun!

Virtualize within an already virtualized host, yes, why? who knows.

Here's what you will need:
A Mac running 10.5 (Leopard)
VMWare Fusion
Centos Install ISO
Ubuntu OpenVZ Image
Time
Coffee
Lack of sanity

Let's get to my crazy directions, which might or might not work :) (they did for me)

Vmware Fusion install of CentOS 5.2 using netinstall image (7.2MB :) )

HTTP Install with the following values
Web site Name: mirror.centos.org
