Frist edit harddisk on ESXi or VCSA
setp 2
then login the Linux server， check “fdisk -l” command.
root@eve-ng:~# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sdb: 800 GiB, 858993459200 bytes, 1677721600 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
if Disk /dev/sdx eq your set harddisk, please go to setp 3.
if disk not eq set harddisk, please use "partprobe /dev/sdx" command tell kernel re-read the harddisk.
root@eve-ng:~# partprobe /dev/sdb
root@eve-ng:~# fdisk -l
