Detailed Description
The Resize-VirtualDisk cmdlet resizes an existing virtual disk to be larger or smaller.
Note: The ability to expand or shrink is vendor specific.
Note: If there is a partition on the virtual disk, then the partition must also be resized in order for the client to have additional space on the disk surfaced to Windows.

<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=113216).
Inputs
The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_VirtualDisk
The
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstanceobject is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.
Outputs
The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_VirtualDisk
The
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstanceobject is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.
Examples
EXAMPLE 1
This example changes the size of the VirtualDisk object. Note: Any associated Partition object must also be resized to utilize this space.
