Step 4: Using vSphere client navigate to the ESX configuration/Hardware/Storage section and run “Rescan All …”.Step 4: Increase iSCSI LUN data size First you have to calculate the new size in bytes (900*1024*1024*1024=966367641600), and run the sbdadm modify-lu command: sbdadm modify-lu -s 966367641600 sbdadm list-luĦ00144f00800270597f54f2d48400006 966367641600 /dev/zvol/rdsk/tank/vm/serversĪfter modifying the logical unit data size, you can verify the new size.In the example above we wanted to increase the size of tank/vm/servers from 500GB to 900GB. *** Using this shell in an inappropriate manner may void your warranty!

I have space available on my disk pool and I want to resize (expand) the virtual disk to a larger capacity without losing data. One virtual disk I have shared in iSCSI is running out of space.
