**Versions of the related components and OS (frontend, hypervisors, VMs):**

OpenNebula 5.4.0  
vOneCloud 3.0.1  
ESXi 5.5

**Current results:**

Frontend is missing a HDD resize slider.

**Expected results:**

Since version 3.0 - disk resize seems to be available through the UI (as stated in [http://docs.vonecloud.today/pdf/vOneCloud-3.0.0.pdf](http://docs.vonecloud.today/pdf/vOneCloud-3.0.0.pdf)). Any ideas what I’m doing wrong that I don’t even see the option to resize?

Can you share the output of the following:

onevm show -x

where vid is the id of the VM with a disk that cannot be resized?

Hi Tino,

here’s the requested terminal output:

Not sure why is not showing. Can you send a screenshot of the Storage tab? The resize icon is pointed in the attached screenshot.

Hi Tino,

here’s a screenshot of my storage tab:

 ![04](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/opennebula/original/2X/a/acc9514bcf505ece96d04de2219e46828ce06705.png)

Any idea why I don’t even see the appropriate actions?

Thanks,  
Jonas

The machine is in UNKNOWN state, that is why the interface is not showing the actions. Is the VM running in vCenter?

Hi, Tino -

yeah it’s running in vCenter. Any idea why exactly it’s set to Unknown state?

Thanks

Let’s see what the monitoring probes are reporting. Please send us the output of the following command:

$ /var/lib/one/remotes/im/vcenter.d/poll x x x x

where HID is the Id of the host in OpenNebula where the VM is running.
