An administrator has configured iSCSI connectivity between an ESXi host and PowerStore. The host can see the PowerStore targets, but when attempting to create a VMFS datastore, the volume is not listed as an available disk. The volume is mapped to the host. What is the most likely cause?

The volume is already formatted with VMFS and cannot be used for a new datastore.

The host has not rescanned the storage adapters after the volume was mapped.

The PowerStore volume is not in the same storage container as the host.

The host's iSCSI adapter is not configured with the correct CHAP credentials.

Which command can be run on an ESXi host to verify that PowerStore volumes are visible as LUNs?

An administrator has created a VMFS datastore on a PowerStore volume. The datastore is running low on space. The administrator wants to expand the datastore without disrupting running VMs. Which approach should be taken?

Create a new datastore on a new volume and migrate VMs to it.

Expand the PowerStore volume online, then use vSphere to extend the VMFS datastore.

Use vSphere to increase the datastore size without expanding the volume.

Create a new PowerStore volume, map it to the host, and use vSphere to extend the existing datastore by adding the new volume.
