add a new virtual disk to the virtual machine and mount it where you need it.
I m posting the output after adding 100 mb disk.
(From output of below command i came to conclusion thatNothing has changed to output of these commands. Where would i find the additional 100 mb .To be honest i have never mounted or added new harddisk even on physical machine. Please guide)
The disk is (probably) attached as /dev/hdb. Check the output of dmesg to be sure. Now, create a new partition on the disk by running fdisk. I'd suggest creating an explicit LVM partition to add it to the existing VG.
Then, initialize the new partition for use with LVM, add it to the existing VG, and either create a new LV, or extend the existing:

If the output of dmesg goes by too fast, pipe it into less:
Code:
dmesg | less
You could grep for the term 'hardware sectors', but I can't guarantee that this will work. However most current Linux distributions use udev (or similar) to manage the /dev mount, so you won't see any devices there aren't connected somehow. So if there's a /dev/hdb, that's your best candidate.

Its showing now as hdb . I forgot to add new harddisk to existing VM box.

My question is why size /var can't increase? used space still 100%.
