Hi there, 

I was wondering if anyone would be able to help. We are adding more storage to one of our exchange database drives as it is running out of storage space. I added the new space through Storage Manager. The drive was 1630GB in size and I increased it by 100GB to 1730GB and it displays as this on Storage Manager but when I go to Hyper V Manager and the settings for the Exchange server the hard drive displays as 1630GB and not the new size. 

When I go into the server itself I do not have any unallocated space either to make this drive bigger.

I was wondering if there is anything I can do with regards to getting my space back and increasing the drive on Exchange as I am currently missing 100GB somewhere.

Thanks,

Please see steps of increasing the drive

went into Storage manager and selected the drive that i wanted to increase 

Selected increase capacity 

entered the 100GB of space I wanted to add to the existing drive

Storage Manager then added the 100GB to the existing drive 

After 5 minutes I went back to my Virtual Exchange server and restarted it 

Logged back in and went to disk manager to allocate the unallocated space but there was nothing there

I have done it the above way previously without any issues so not sure why it hasnt worked this time. 

Hi David,

Storage manager - What is this? Is it a SAN or Something from the Host Server.

How is the storage connected to the host first. Or is it directly connected to the VM, bypassing the host using
