Unable to re-add iSCSi Datastore without Formatting

Hi,

Recently, I migrated my HDDs from Old Synology NAS to New Synology and reconfigured the Software iSCSI adapter with new IQNs.

After rescanning the adapter, I can see the device but not Datastore. If I try to add new Datastore it shows "No devices with free space".

I checked the status using the command line and got this:

[root@localhost:~] esxcli storage vmfs extent list

How far are you getting in the new datastore wizard. I think there is a re signature option you need to use if the vmfs file system was connected using a different adapter.

Resignature a VMFS Datastore Copy
