Storage missing

Hi,

Im currently testing VMware ESXi 7 and my question is related to storage or datastore. I have 250GB SSD with RAID 1, and in my VMware I notice the following partition.

1. EFI System (100 MB)

Free space (1.97 MB)

5. Basic Data (4 GB)

6. Basic Data (4 GB)

7. VMFSL (119.9 GB)

8. VMFS (109.87 GB)

The question is why VMFSL (119.9 GB) is not visible in the the datastore. In my datastore I had 109 GB storage only and cannot expand it or add another one. Do you know how can I add this VMFSL?
