Error when you try to resize a hard disk

Anyone know how I can extend this disc?  I'm moving from 6 GB to 10 GB.  My command prompt is in the directory with the VMDK file and I ran this command.

vmkfstools x 10G filename.vmdk

Here is the error:

Impossible to extend the drive: the called function can only be performed on partial strings. Please open the virtual disk parent. (5)

Size of filesystem used Avail use % mounted on

Disk space is certainly a problem.  You need to get this fixed as soon as POSSIBLE

see this KB, it can be useful for cleaning things.

    Hello

    What kind of DVD that you use to create a Toshiba Recovery disk? I have tried Verbatim DVD-R and TDK DVD-R and never had a problem with these discs. A friend tried DVD + R and he couldn t create a recovery disk. After he tried DVD-R and everything was fine but I do not know why this happened.
    So please try other discs.

    Also, check the Toshiba page for an update of the firmware of the CD/DVD drive. Maybe it will help you.

  • Error when you try to run an application that worked when built with 8.6

    I have a simple program that I wrote in the 8.6 version that I've never had a problem generation and execution of applications built with it to 8.6.  Two weeks ago, I got 2009 by mail because we had very recently purchased 8.6 and I get errors when you try to run an application built with the same code using 2009.  The error relates to the Mean.vi.  He claims that he can't find it.  The error I get is as follows:

    Error loading VI 'NI_AALBase.lvlib:Mean.vi '.  LabVIEW support 3 error code: could not load façade.  I don't have access to the front panel of this vi, so I wonder if there is a problem with the runtime and not my code.  Please answer as soon as possible because it will quickly start to the impact of my calendar.  Thank you.

    Hello!

    The same problem ?

    I talked with my local OR technical support team. The application now works without any problem.

    Rule of thumb: when creating a Setup program do not forget that the option "Run Time Engine xxxx" in the category "Other installers" is selected despite the fact that the runtime is already installed.

    Best regards.
