why does expanding the disk on a VDP appliance cause problem
Tried expanding the storage from 1T to 4T on the VDP appliance 6.1 but it fails (wouldn't expand the disk any ideas???
Hi! Andrew and Gaurav just a quick update with our experience in our environment , after expanding the disk of the appliance (VM), the appliance run's an integrity check and after the second one (integrity check) the appliance sorts itself out and see's the disk. Just in case someone else has the same problem, they must just be patient and that can take up to 72 hours and thanks again.
Wasting your time if your VDP appliance became greater than 84 percent full it will never rebalance itself.and therefore not letting you use more storage.
VDP is useless and the worst product VMware has ever launched!
Be warned it will come back and bite you.
Look to the future and find a replacement!
