Below are the steps to add a disk of 20GB and create a new partition in Linux 6 hosted on a vmware.
Go to VM--> Setting ---> Edit virtual machine settings ----> Add---> Hard disk ---> Create new virtual disk ---> SCSI ---> Give size of disk (20 GB) -->Split virtual disk into multiple file --> Next --> Finish
After you add disk, start the host and follow below
[root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 16.1 GB, 16106127360 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1958 cylinders

Disk /dev/sdb: 21.5 GB, 21474836480 bytes

Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table
=========================================================================
Above you can see, /dev/sdb as new 20 gb disk is added. Now follow below steps
==========================================================================
[root@localhost ~]# fdisk /dev/sdb
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0xa22f35c4.
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable.
Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)
WARNING: DOS-compatible mode is deprecated. It's strongly recommended to
switch off the mode (command 'c') and change display units to
sectors (command 'u').

Now make filesystem of the added disk.
[root@localhost ~]# mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdb1

This filesystem will be automatically checked every 24 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
[root@localhost ~]#
Create directory for filesystem and mount it.
[root@localhost ~]# mkdir /oradata
[root@localhost ~]#
[root@localhost ~]# mount /dev/sdb1 /oradata
[root@localhost ~]#
Add below entry to /etc/fstab so that the partition named oradata remains there after a reboot.
/dev/sdb1 /oradata ext4 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 reboot
Good luck.....
