For any system that can avoid downtime would be a great solution for system admin like me. I have a request from customer ask for additional 10G partition for /u03 due to emergency request in my SuSE Linux Enterprise Server running on top of VMware ESX host.

Adding a new hdd in VMware is pretty simple. Logon to VMware Infrastruce Client -> click edit setting in my SLES VMware guest and add new hard disk.

SSH as superuser into my SLES box and type:

rescan-scsi-bus.sh

That’s simple. I can view my new hard disk using command:

cat /proc/partitions


Run fdisk to continue.
