I needed to resize one of my VMs. This will serve as some better notes than what I see online.
1. Shutdown VM and open the ESXI WEB UI to resize the virtual disk and check a box to force the bios to open on power up.
2. Attach gparted iso to VM then power it up and adjust boot order to boot iso.
3. Once booted, deactivate LVM root volume and resize both extended and logical partitions to max disk size or as desired.
You should see something like this, with different sizes and uuid.
