Storage Capacity Mismatch Between OS multipath (/dev/mapper) and HPE-VME GFS2 Datastores

I am experiencing a noticeable data mismatch regarding storage capacity reporting in our HPE VM Essentials (VME) cluster environment. The VME cluster datastores console is showing completely invalid/outdated utilization metrics compared to what is actually allocated at the hypervisor host OS layer

Hi @SevanSardarian

The datastore capacity shown in VME may not always reflect real-time GFS2 filesystem usage reported by the host OS.
This difference can result from delayed statistics collection, stale cluster metadata, or synchronization issues.

Verify cluster health and datastore services, and if the values do not update after a refresh, you may collect logs and contact HPE Support for further investigation.
