Citrix XenServer 6.2 Running Ubnutu Server 14.04

It had a 300GB disk attached, using XenCenter I increased the disk size to 500GB, planning on using gparted to resize the partition.

Now it will not boot. I don't get anything in the XenCenter Console. The XenCenter log shows "Starting VM" for a couple minutes before the timer stops, but no error message.

You should try restarting your XenCenter, then make right-click your server=>Properties=>Boot Options and make sure that "Hard Disk" is checked.

When that's done, if you're still having problems, try booting in recovery mode (hit the VM menu and Startup/Shutdown and hit "Start in recovery mode")

Your Ubuntu 14.04 should be PVHVM mode as XenServer 6.2 does NOT have a Ubuntu 14.04 template (PV).

As @Jared already mentioned, make sure the HDD is ticked in boot order. I highly recommend using System Rescue CD to boot the VM and use the gparted GUI or whatever CLI command (e.g. parted can also adjust partion size, if it is LVM based, the LVM command lines should just work fine).

NOTE: after resizing (growing) the partition, don't forget to grow the file system (for ext{3,4}, resize2fs).
