Summary :

Jun 11, 2019 Azure Machine Learning Notebook Virtual Machine (VM), announced in May 2019, resolves these conflicting requirements while simplifying the overall experience for data scientists. The Azure ML Notebook VM is a cloud-based workstation created specifically for data scientists. Notebook VM based author. How to set up a virtual machine with VirtualBox for local testing. This article describes how to install and configure a virtual machine using VirtualBox, a popular virtualization application.VirtualBox runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, and features an easy-to-use graphical user interface for creating and managing virtual machines.

This article will show you how to enlarge hard disk virtual machine if you set the disk to be so small at the beginning of creating virtual machine and will also introduce you a simple way to manage virtual hard drive.

A Brief Introduction to Virtual Machine of VMware Workstation

VMware Workstation is a program which makes it possible for users to set up one or more virtual machines on a single physical machine or run multiple operating systems simultaneously.

A virtual machine is an emulation of a particular computer system and operates based on the computer architecture and functions of a real or hypothetical computer. Each virtual machine works separately and functions like a real machine.

If you want to run virtual machine successfully, specialized hardware, software, and system should be involved. Well then, how to set up a virtual machine?

How to Create Virtual Machine on VMware Workstation

After the ISO file of operating system has been downloaded and VMware Workstation has been installed, you can follow the steps as below to create a virtual machine:

Step 1. Launch VMware Workstation. Then you need to choose Create a New Virtual Machine.

Step 2. Then, choose a type of configuration and click Next to continue. It is recommended to choose Typical.

Step 3. Then you will get the interface below. Now you can install guest operating system either from installer disc, or from installer disc image file (ISO).

Of course, you can also choose to install it latter. And here we select the second one since there is no drive available: click Browse… to select the downloaded ISO file from physical machine, and then click Next.

Step 4. Select a guest operating system (the system you want to install for virtual machine), and click Next.

Step 5. Next, name the virtual machine and appoint it with a location on physical machine. Then click Next.

Step 6. After these steps, we need to set virtual hard drive capacity (a virtual hard disk can function like a physical hard disk, so it can be used to save different kinds of files, too). Then click Next.

The maximum disk size will be set to be smaller by default (may be 60GB), but we can change it by typing the exact value.

However, some users may click Next directly to continue rather than reset a new hard disk capacity. As a result, they get a very small hard disk which may be out of space after a period of time.

Under this situation, users badly need to increase virtual machine disk size. Well then, how to add disk VMware workstation or increase virtual machine disk size? We will introduce detailed steps after the problem how to create virtual machine is solved.

Step 7. Once the hard disk capacity is set, we need to configure hardware for this virtual machine. We can either click Finish to employ default hardware configuration or customize it, which depends on our own demands.

Step 8. After that, the virtual machine we are creating appears in VMware Workstation. You can power on this virtual machine, and the system installation interface will appear in a short time. At this time, install Windows 10 on virtual machine like install system on physical disk.

Tip: If the installation interface does not emerge, we need to power off the virtual machine, then choose CD/DVD under Devices menu, and next select the ISO file under the Use ISO image file option from physical machine.

Once the installation is completed, we can use the virtual machine normally. But what if the hard disk was set too small when we were creating virtual machine? Next, let’s see the specific solution, and here we just take Windows 10 operating system for example.

How to Increase Virtual Machine Disk Size or Add New Virtual Hard Disk

It’s amazing that users can add disk VMware workstation and increase virtual machine disk size without replacing physical hard disks, and it can be completed from the GUI (Graphical User Interface) of VMware Workstation.

Next let’s see how to increase hard disk space in VMware virtual machine and how to add disk VMware workstation and with detailed steps.

1. Expand Virtual Hard Drive in VMware Workstation

This part will show you how to enlarge hard disk virtual machine with detailed steps and screenshots.

Tip: Before you expand virtual hard drive in VMware Workstation, you need to power off the virtual machine.

Step 1. Choose Hard Disk under Devices.

Step 2. Click Hard Disk. And on the right side, you can Expand button, click it to go on.

Note: The Expand…button may be gray out sometimes. That is because there is a snapshot which contains the hard disk you want to expand. To fix this error, you can either remove the snapshot or use VMware vCenter Converter as the error message suggests. You can just delete snapshot since this requires relatively simple operations.

Step 3. Specify the maximum size for the virtual disk and click Expand.

Step 4. Click OK.

Step 5. After we expanded the VMware disk, we can see the hard disk size has been changed in VMware Workstation.

Tip: To expand hard disk from GUI is feasible for VMware Workstation 7 and later versions. To do the expanding in older versions of Workstation, you may need to make use of command prompt.

Actually, apart from enlarging the existing disk to increase storage space, we can add new hard disk as well. Let’s see the specific operations.

2. Add New Virtual Hard Disk for Virtual Machine

On one virtual machine, we can configure it with multiple hard disks to increase storage capacity, and detailed steps are as follows.

Step 1. Open the VMware Workstation and open a virtual machine from the physical hard disk to get the following window. Then choose Hard Disk under the Devices item since we need to add hard disk rather than any other hardware component.

Step 2. In this interface, select Hard Disk and click Add button.

Step 3. In the list of Hardware types, select Hard Disk and click Next.

Step 4. Follow the step-by-step instruction to add hard disk to VMware virtual machine and set capacity for the new virtual hard disk according to our demands. At last, click OK to apply all previous changes.

Tip: Some versions of VMware Workstation rule that the disk capacity cannot be larger than 2048GB (2TB).

Now the new disk has been added. At this time, as long as we open the virtual machine and initialize the new disk to either MBR or GPT in Disk Management utility, we can use it to save data.

This is how VMware increase disk size. Actually, there is still another way to increase hard disk capacity, and it is to make use of the command prompt tool, but this way requires complex operations and professional knowledge so that we are easy to make mistakes.

Therefore, VMware highly suggests making a backup for the virtual machine before increasing the size of hard disk with this way, and we do not recommend using it. For more information about this soluti
