Hello,
I have an issue with a ESXi 6.5.0 Update 2 (Build 10884925) host...
The system is a Dell R420 with a H710P mini mono adapter.
I was having 5 HDD (5x146GB 2,5" 15k) in RAID-5, still working well.
ESXi was installed on and the rest of space is for the local datastore.
I planned to do a Raid Level Migration from this 5 HDD RAID-5 to 8 HDD (8x146GB 2,5" 15k) in RAID-6 under OMSA, rebuilding completed without any error.
I do a patrol read for veryfing the integrety of the data, no problem.
So my datastore was ~500BG(~300GB free), I planned to expand it with the free space available to have ~800GB (always with this 300GB free).
I have trying to expand my datastore directly on ESXi web GUI, error. When I choose expand datastore and selected my VMFS datastore, the curser still, nothing to do.
I have trying to expand my datastore under VSphere 6.5, apparently it was worked fine, I now show 800GB under ESXi (not under Vcenter), but my datastore still ~500GB like after.
If I try an another expand under ESXi or Vcentr Vsphere, it dont find any HDD/LUN free for it.
I don't know how to resolve this issue...

Many thanks in advance for your help, any suggestion, etc...
Regards.
