Refer to the Exhibit. An administrator wants to increase the capacity of a VMFS5 datastore; but the Increase Size by s lider is not available, as shown in the Exhibit. How should the administrator res

The vSphere datastore expansion wizard requires the administrator to select a valid partition configuration (such as 'Use all available partitions') from the drop-down before the slider becomes interactive. Without a valid selection, the wizard has no partition to resize, so the control remains disabled.

Using fdisk to manually resize the partition is unsupported for VMFS datastores and risks corruption; vSphere provides a built-in wizard specifically to handle VMFS partition resizing safely.

The Partition Layout diagram in the wizard is a visual display only and is not an interactive control that can be dragged or resized with the mouse.

Clicking Next without first selecting a valid partition configuration will not expose additional usable space options; the wizard requires a valid selection on the current screen before proceeding.
