I am trying to extend the volume of my WSUS database volume as it is running out of disk space.
I noticed that the extend volume is greyed out, eventhough i have increased it in my vCenter edit settings from 250GB to 300GB.

You’re saying extend is grey in Windows, not in VCSA?

Can you share a screenshot?

Is there any other partitions between where you want to extend the space? If so, you can’t.

You can purge older files though to reclaim space.

If you didn’t know WSUS is deprecated too.

You see the space in windows disk management but can’t extend? Is the space adjacent to the partition you want to extend? Has to be one contiguous partition, so if there’s another partition after the WSUS one, you won’t be able to extend it.

To add my two-cents…the OS and update DB’s should be on different disks (C:\ and, say, E:\ respectively) as well.

From your statement you have added additional space from VMware and you can’t see in Windows. Go to disk management and rescan disks. Post you should see the free space. Then you can extend the disk.

Note : There should not be additional drive on the same disk to perform this operation.

for Ex : 1 disk 2 volumes Like 500 GB with D and E drives then you can’t

Hope this helps.

Assume you’ve looked at cleaning and clearing it up?

You could use a third party tool such as aomei partition manager to resize a partition

For anyone else having the same issue, it’d be nice if you shared how and not just say it’s resolved.

You can then mark a best answer to highlight the post that helped you solve the issue.
