Resize NFS Datastore - Refresh

[gesturgis]

Greetings,

I have a volume on a Netapp filer mounted NFS as a datastore. I have then resized (increased) the size of the volume on the Netapp, and `vdf -h` shows the correct size of the datastore. However, in the VI client, the datastore still shows the old (smaller) size. I'm attempting a conversion that will require the new, larger, size, and it is refusing to start the conversion because it thinks the datastore is too small.

I've attempted using the Refresh link Configuration > Storage, but that does not display the new size.

Any ideas what I need to do here?

Thanks,

Grant

I would try restarting the hostd agent - service mgmt-vmware restart - this can be done while VMs are running -

Hi,

Disconnecting and reconnecting the host from the VC works as well or even restarting the VC service.

The all will invoke a VMDB sync/refresh.

worked perfectly, thanks.
