How to extend or expand a Netware Volume running SLES
Reference:
Step 1: Analyze the current environment. In this case, I noticed that it was running Netware and was not using the Linux LVM manager.
Step 2: I added another 100 Gb Disk to the VM, and then rebooted the VM. Yes, I had to reboot to get Yast, and NSSMU to see the additional volume.

Broadcast message from root (pts/1) (Sat Nov 26 20:44:23 2016):
The system is going down for reboot NOW!
Step 3: I used the NSS Management Utility by typing the following command at the root console.
nssmu
Step 4: Then choose the following
Devices (F3 to scan)
Then I choose the Pool, and selected the GWDATA pool.
I then selected the option to expand it.
Now I have another 100 Gb Free on the Server
