vSphere CLient Disk Size

[mathewdsa]

Hi. I have expanded 2 thick provisioned, eager zeroed disks using vmkfstools and the web page for the ESX host shows the correct new size of the disks for the VM. However, the vcenter/vsphere web client is not showing the updated disk sizes. I tried to rescan storage but that did not help. Also, a manual browse of the files using the datastore browser shows the correct size.

I guess that this is just a caching issue, where the vSphere Client did not yet re-read the virtual disks.
What may already solve the issue is to do a minor configuration change (e.g. connect/disconnect the VM's virtual CD-ROM drive) from the VMs settings, save them, then open the settings again.
