The group that configured our VMware infrastructure created vcenter as a
virtual machine. It was only sized at 20GB. We are continually running

I have done this on VM's using GPart. Allocate more space to the VM then mount

Interesting. Can you shut down the vcenter server?
If so, at the service console of the host that has the vcenter guest,
