Hi,
Seeing a bit of a strange one - we have 3PAR LUNs presented to a 6.5 HPE blade cluster via FC and each datastore is presented too all hosts.
They all work fine however on a host reboot some of the datastores are shown as 'Not Consumed' as their operational state in Configure > Storage > Storage Devices. This hasn't had an effect on operations thus far as most of them show up connected after reboot and DRS must only migrate workloads back to that are housed on connected storage..
We only noticed it after bringing hosts back into use and a storage re-scan brings any datastores back instantly.
Has anyone seen 'Not consumed' before or have any pointers?
I will try re-create the behaviour in dev today.
Thank you
Update 23/04/2019:
Rebooting a host recreated the issue. Some LUNs have an operational state of attached but are 'Not Consumed' and do not show up in the list of datastores.
Here's the details of one that this happened to:

And here's one that is working from same host

A storage re-scan on the host brings them back.
Has anyone got any pointers to what to look into?
