If you are using the VMware Virtual Disk Manager included in GSX Server, VMware Server, Workstation, or ACE to expand the size of a virtual disk, and the virtual disk is partitioned, you will need to use a third-party utility to resize the expanded partitions. This utility would be run from inside the guest operating system.
Examples of third-party utilities include:
Partition Magic
System Rescue CD https://www.system-rescue.org/
GParted LiveCD https://gparted.org/livecd.php
Partition Logic
EASEUS Partition Manager https://www.easeus.com/partition-manager/epm-free.html
Paragon Partition Manager https://www.paragon-software.com/business/partition-manager/
Ranish Partition Manager
7tools Partition Manager
