Hi David, thank you for your support. The distros are different (CentOS 6.4, Ubuntu 12...), all the OS are 64bit versions.
If I try to perform the operation directly on vSphere, for a VM deployed by CloudStack, I'm not able to execute the task; if I deploy a Linux machine directly from VMware I can expand the CPU/RAM resources. For this reason I believe that the problem could be on the CS 4.2 side. Thanks in advance for your reply.
