Hi Guys , please assist . I grew some VMFS5 Luns from 5 to 15 TB and they are still reporting 5 TB in size , from time to time , until you refresh the Datastore in vsphere client / Rescan ALL the Host's Fibre Channel HBAs .
I had to grow the Luns using a direct vSphere client ESXi Host connection as the Grow option was greyed out in vCenter Views . So I understand that vCenter view would not immediately reflect the new size . But why it this persisting after HBA rescans ? Also if
you CLI > esxcli storage filesystem list , its shows the original side
vmfs/volumes/55f671f9-0eef5ab1-6e38-001517f2da24 DC1_CLOUD_ARCHIVE 55f671f9-0eef5ab1-6e38-001517f2da24 true VMFS-5 5497289703424 3585331953664
How do fix this ,as we need to do many more of these soon ?
