Good day, I'm trying to use PowerCLI to expand a datastore on a remote ESXi host server (initial configuration) but everything I'm finding online is making me run in circles trying everything I find.
What I have:
I create the datastore with the following:
$drives = get-vmhost | get-scsilun -CanonicalName "t10.ATA_____Micron*"
New-Datastore -Server $esxhost -name "Datastore" -path $drives[0] -VMFS
From there I want to expand that with only the other 2 drives in the array $drives[1] and $drives[2]
Is there a way to do that? I cannot find a command to expand the VMFS datastore on the hose anywhere. Everything I've tried gives me errors and I'm beginning to pull out what little hair I have left.

LucD,
This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much. I knew there had to be an easy way to do it... I just couldn't find it 😞
You are a life saver.
