Running a nested esx environment:
Initial (nested) ESX disk was 100G, I increased to 150G on the outer vCenter and looks good.
In the nested vCenter:
still shows 100G
Connect to the ESX directly, from webUI -> increase datastore capacity->expand an existing VMFS datastore extent
(it shows 150G for capacity)
Selected the vmfs partition and the after picture looks perfect.
and when I run it, I get the error: Failed to expand VMFS Datastore - cannot change host configuration
Any ideas?

When you login to the host client (https://<FQDN>/ui) if you go to Help -> About in the upper-right, what version does it report?

Expanding the VMFS dataastore on the installation disk/LUN needs to be done from the command line.

Dead link. Is this also true if you want to "Increase Storage Capacity" by attaching another LUN?
