How expand a a Virtual Disk VM 3.1 JDEdwards Templates

Hi.

I installed JDEdwards 9.1 Templates with VM 3.1. The Database Server comes with small 30GB Virtual Disk and I need to expand it.

- I did edit the disk definition  and changed to 200GB.

- I notice that a new Virtual Disk was created. I see two Virtual Disks under the Server.

LINUX ahows a new hard drive

 /dev/xvdb  doesn't contain a valid partition table

A created new partition with

fdisk /dev/xvdb ...

Then tried to format the partition to ext3

# /sbin/mkfs -t ext3 /dev/xvdb1
mke2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)
/dev/xvdb1 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here!
