Step 1: Resize the disk in VMware, either through vSphere, or PowerCLI if you'd like. I happened to have vSphere open so I did it that way:
(note, you will have to turn off the VM in order to do this)
After the VM has come up, you now do the below, here is a shortened version of things, and below it the actual output you get:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_device/1\:0\:0\:0/device/rescan
echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_device/2\:0\:0\:0/device/rescan
fdisk /dev/sda
d
2
n
p
2
502
ENTER
w
reboot
2. After the server reboots, run these three command:
partx -a /dev/sda ;
pvresize /dev/sda2 ;
pvcreate /dev/sda3 ;
vgextend vg_root /dev/sda3 ;
lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/mapper/vg_root-lv_root
resize2fs /dev/mapper/vg_root-lv_root
(to see what your VG is called run #vgdisplay | grep "VG Name" )
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now here it is in detail:
[root@node01 ~]# echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_device/2\:0\:0\:0/device/rescan
[root@node01 ~]# echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_device/1\:0\:0\:0/device/rescan
[root@node01 ~]# fdisk /dev/sda

The partition table has been altered!
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy.
The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at
the next reboot or after you run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8)

And that's all there is to it. you now have a 40Gb drive instead of a 25Gb one.
