Hi Guys,
We are running vSphere and using Dell Equallogic arrays for storage. Now one of the datastores was filling up, although I had space on the storage side. So I just modified the LUN (Equallogic gives you the option to increase the LUN size on the fly) and even without rescanning the storage I was able to see the additional capacity in the Storage section under the "configuration" tab, I was very impressed.
When I select the vmfs and hit properties to launch the dialog box/wizard to increase it, I see it fine, but upon hitting increase, the next window doesn't show any device, its just a blank screen. I'm not sure why it doesn't show the device/LUN to be expanded. I have gone through the admin guide, but it has these exact steps which I'm already following.
Can anyone please tell me what is the deal here? I'm pretty current patches wise and have rescanned the storage several times... but no luck.
Attaching screen shots for reference.
If someone can please help me out, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks a bunch.
