Datastore increase help..

Installed a new 1TB drive. I can create a new datastore just fine with no issues. But I'm trying to extend/increase a current data store. When I click increase datastore the drive cant be found but I can find the drive just fine if I create a new datastore?? Any suggestions?? only thing I see different is the que depth would this be causing the issue?

All screenshots attached

Hi , are you using the option #1 here

You should be prompted to select one of two options:

Add an extent to existing VMFS datastore
Expand an existing VMFS datastore extent

Correct I am choosing option #1 but choosing either doesn't show any options.

I accidentally posted twice not knowing which section is the correct one. Now I'm not sure how to delete the other... Would have loved some feedback on my issue from a "VMware Employee" other than Your duplicate thread has been reported to moderators. But thanks anyway for doing a mighty fine job.
