# Increasing Disk Size in vCenter

Complete the following steps to increase disk space when using vCenter:

1. Follow the instructions in *[ESXi OVA Deployment Using vCenter](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BloxOneInfrastructure/pages/2359853057)* up to and including step 19.
2. Do not power on the VM.
3. To increase the disk size of the VMs, select the deployed VM and go to **Edit Settings** > **Virtual Hardware**.
4. Power on the VM.
5. Continue from step 20 in *[ESXi OVA Deployment Using vCenter](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BloxOneInfrastructure/pages/2359853057)**.*

# Increasing Disk Space in ovftool

1. Follow the instructions in *[ESXi OVA Deployment Using ovftool](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=bloxoneinfrastructure&title=vCenter%20OVA%20Deployment%20to%20ESXi%20Using%20ovftool&linkCreation=true&fromPageId=209060023)* up to and including step 6.
2. Execute the following commands to deploy the Data Connector (without the --poweron flag):

`ovftool --acceptAllEulas --skipManifestCheck --allowAllExtraConfig --sourceType=OVA `

`--datastore="<datastore name>" --name="<name for the Data Connector>" `

`--net:"lan"="<standard switch ID>" --extraConfig:guestinfo.cloudinit.userdata="${userdata}" `

`--extraConfig:guestinfo.cloudinit.metadata="${metadata}" `

`ngp_onprem_vx.x.xx.ova vi://<username>:<password>@<ESXi server IP> `

*datastore name* is the name of your datastore on which you want to deploy the Data Connector.  
*name for the Data Connector* is the name of the Data Connector.  
*standard switch ID* is the name of the vSphere standard switch that provides connectivity between the Data Connector and external networks.  
*ngp_onprem_vx.x.xx.ova* is the name of the Data Connector OVA file; x.x.xx is the version number of this file.  
*username password* is the username and password for the ESXi server.  
*ESXi server IP* is the IP address of the ESXi server on which you have configured the VM for deploying the Data Connector.

3. To increase the disk size of the VMs, select the deployed VM and go to **Edit Settings** > **Hardware**.

4. Power on the deployed VM.
