The perfect setup Ubuntu VM image - increase VM storage on ESXi 6.5?

Hi,
I have this https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial...l-pureftpd-bind-postfix-doveot-and-ispconfig/ that is setup and when the VM image was created it was only 30GB and I will need to expand it to 500GB because it will get filled up pretty fast.. In ESXi 6.5 https://prnt.sc/i37tgr I have already increased it but Ubuntu is not recognizing it?
I have same issue with Debian VM downloaded from here. I've tried searching here and online and could not find anything that relates to this issue. Any ideas what to do?

Code:

root@ubuntu:~# df -h
Filesystem                    Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev                          3.9G     0  3.9G   0% /dev
tmpfs                         797M  9.0M  788M   2% /run
/dev/mapper/server1--vg-root   27G   26G     0 100% /
tmpfs                         3.9G     0  3.9G   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs                         5.0M  4.0K  5.0M   1% /run/lock
tmpfs                         3.9G     0  3.9G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/sda1                     472M  105M  343M  24% /boot
tmpfs                         797M     0  797M   0% /run/user/0
root@ubuntu:~# 

 

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

After countless hours of trying and failing and restoring VM snapshots I was able to extend it and use up allocated 500GB!
Bellow is what I had to do and I hope it saves someone time in case they run into same issue!

mount / shows 27GB in size
note this path /dev/mapper/server1--vg-root
Next two commands are important and are to use up all available free space:

Code:

root@ubuntu:~# lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/mapper/server1--vg-root
  Size of logical volume server1-vg/root changed from 27.52 GiB (7045 extents) to 497.52 GiB (127365 extents).
  Logical volume root successfully resized.

Code:

root@ubuntu:~# resize2fs /dev/mapper/server1--vg-root
resize2fs 1.42.13 (17-May-2015)
Filesystem at /dev/mapper/server1--vg-root is mounted on /; on-line resizing required
old_desc_blocks = 2, new_desc_blocks = 32
The filesystem on /dev/mapper/server1--vg-root is now 130421760 (4k) blocks long.

And voila it shows all allocated space now under /

Code:

root@ubuntu:~# df -h
Filesystem                    Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev                          3.9G     0  3.9G   0% /dev
