NetApp Datastore status Not Consumed in vCenter

[Zulhadi]

Hi All,

I need an assistance. Currently we already create a LUN in NetApp FAS and already present the LUN as Datastore in the ESXi host. But the site have power outage and after the ESXi already up, the datastore from NetApp storage is missing from the datastore list (only the datastore from local available)

I try check on host storage device and can see the NetApp storage device but i noticed in datastore column, it mentioned "Not Consumed". 

Anyone can help on this on how I can present back the datastore on ESXi? I already try a few method such as rescan storage adapter and storage but still the NetApp datastore still not visible on the ESXi host

Please check the below kbs:
Datastores are shown as "Not Consumed" in vCenter:
https://kb.netapp.com/Advice_and_Troubleshooting/Hybrid_Cloud_Infrastructure/NetApp_HCI/Datastores_are_shown_as_%22Not_Consumed%22_in_vCenter

FCP Datastore shows not consumed on Vcenter:

FCP datastore showing as not consumed in Vcenter:

If the LUN is online and mapped from the NetApp side, then it would make sense to open a ticket with VMware if the above Kbs don't help.
