Host V Storage Object Manager V Storage Object Extend Disk Ex Task
Expand the capacity of a virtual disk, which is a storage object with disk, to the new capacity.
If new capacity is smaller than current disk capacity, then operation fails due to invalid capacity. If new capacity is greater than current disk capacity, then operation proceeds. If new capacity is equal to current disk ccapcity, then operation succeeds without any actual extension. The extended disk region will be the same as the original disk: - For a zerothick disk, the extended disk region will be zeroedthick. - For an eagerzerothick disk, the extended disk region will be eagerzeroedthick - A thin-provisioned disk will always be extended as a thin-provisioned disk.

This data object type describes an identifier class which is globally unique to identify the associated object.
The new capacity of the virtual disk in MB.
This method returns a Task object with which to monitor the operation.

FileFault: If an error occurs while extending the virtual disk.
NotFound: If the specified virtual storage object cannot be found.
InvalidDatastore: If the operation cannot be performed on the datastore.
InvalidState: If the operation cannot be performed on the disk. The disk may be consumed and cannot be extended.
TaskInProgress: If the virtual storage object is busy.
