Hello @VRO123 ,

If there is a All Paths Down situation that has happened in past then the Datastore might show as 0MB. To get rid of this issue we can take the long route and remove the Datastore from inventory and mount it back or simple Reboot the Esxi host so that the iSCSI session is re-established.

Please reply to this thread and let me know which method would you prefer on this issue.
