you can increase the original-harddisk from zabbix, it is possible in vmware! after this you can resize you filesystem!


otherwise try this in a terminal/console:
(i think you must partition the harddrive)
cfdisk

and after this you can make a filesystem on this:
mkfs.xfs /dev/sdb
mount /dev/sdb /mnt/

you must delete all snapshots and make a backup before!

Open VMware Infrastructure (VI) Client and connect to VirtualCenter or the ESX host.
1.Right-click the virtual machine.
2.Click Edit Settings.
3.Select Virtual Disk.
4.Increase the size of the disk.

Note: If this option is greyed out then the disk may be running on snapshots or the disk may be at the maximum allowed size depending on the block size of the datastore

5.Follow the steps in Increasing the size of a disk partition (1004071) so the guest operating system is aware of the change in disk size.

after this you can use this: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/mic...rnalId=1007907

What about Zabbix

Thank you so much shadow tainted guy.!

I Deleted snapshot, I increased 60 GB new space into zabbix server Hard drive then I follow the steps you mentioned in link http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/mic...rnalId=1007907 But I didn't understand and It doesn't work.

Please Look at this screen-shot of my Zabbix Server disks list after I added new space and run some commands and let me know what extra commands I should run in my Zabbix Server to increase the disk size.
