ESXi host sees 500GB datastore from iQstor iSCSI SAN as 199.75 GB

I have a client who is migrating storage from an ESXi 4.0 free version local datastore to an iSCSI datastore .  This is a production iQstor SAN with 4 other virtual disks that present the proper size to their physical hosts including one at 450GB.  I have created another virtual disk on the SAN at 450 GB.  Using the ESXi iSCSI services and the host only sees the virtual disk as 199.75 GB.  I have rescanned, removed, and recreated from the host side.  I have removed and recreated from the SAN side with no change.  Any ideas?

Welcome to the Communities. I don't see anything in the Knowledgebase. I would think this should be a question best directed to you SAN vendor.

The iQstor 1250 is approximately a 6 year old platform.  We've purchased a 2850 (which is VMware certified) and are in the process of migrating to it.  Unfortunately the issue couldn't be overcome any other way.

As far as I can see it is not on the VMware HCL which could explain the behavior you are seeing unfortunately.
