Virtual Center cant see my new LUNS

I have created a new LUN on my EMC CX3-20 SAN (it was a new expansion) and the LUNS were added to the proper storage group for my ESX servers. What do i have to do in my VI client to get my ESX servers to view the SAN. I have went into the configuration, storage adapter and re scanned for New Storage Devices and New VMFS Volumes.The numbers increased under my target LUNs under the details section but when I look at the summary tab I do not see the new LUNS. What am i missing.

Thanks,

If these are new LUNS then you need to add the LUNS using the add storage option to create the datastore and format VMFS
