  • Open VMware Player or WMware Workstation, and select Linux VM.

  • Make sure LimuxVm is turned off.
  • Click "Edit virtual machine settings".
  • Under Hardware tab, select "Hard Disk (SCSI)"

  • Under the Utilities pull-down menu, select Expand
  • Increase the "Maximum disk size (GB)" by the size of the swap space you want (e.g., for 100GB of swap, add 100GB).
  • Click Expand

  • Close the Settings GUI

The LinuxVM now has available the additional space (400GB in the example). The operating system needs to be reconfigured to use this space (next steps).
