I migrated a local disk to our SAN so i can extend the size - currently 1.5TB and planned to extend to 10TB

after a successful migration i get this error:

TASK ERROR: can't activate LV '/dev/ResearchSAN/vm-104-disk-2': Unable to resume ResearchSAN-vm--104--disk--2 (253:4)

any ideas?

I have also tried to create a new VM on the SAN and get this error:

lvcreate 'ResearchSAN/pve-vm-101' error: Attempted to decrement suspended device counter below zero.

Thanks
 
Ok - figured it out - Proxmox has set the ResearchSAN drive to 20TB but the disk is only 10TB so it can't load. I've increased the SAN VHDD to 20TB to match proxmox - is there anyway i can refresh all the iSCSI/multipath connections to show that i've increased the storage size (without rebooting?)
