VM Image Resizing

One of the many common tasks that a SysAdmin will perform is to resize a VM once the base image is applied. Here are the steps that you should take to perform the resize successfully on the ACM Hypervisors (libvirt-based).

(Note that if the image contains a snapshot, then the image cannot be resized)

1. qemu-img resize <image file name> [+-]<space to allocate>G
2. Boot into the VM and use parted to resizepart.
