1. expand on vmware the HDD Size

2. maybe restart the virtual machine

3. fdisk -l
fdisk /dev/sda

-l

Device          Boot      Start         End      Blocks             Id   System
/dev/sda1   *                1                 65      522081          83  Linux

if all is OK then write the partition-table now with w

restart the virtual machine

or run following command:

partx -a /dev/sda2

after restart make a pvresize /dev/sda2

pvs

then a lvresize -L 4GB /dev/sys_vg/swap_lv
