Extend ESX VMFS volume

Hi
I have installed an ESX 4.0 (VSPHERE) on a blade server , Bl460c
i have created a 200 GB LUN disk on the EVA storage and presented this disk as VMFS volume to the ESX server
i have created many Virtual machines on this volume
i have extended the volume on the EVA from 200 GB to 400 GB , (changed the size online on the EVA) , but still i am viewing 200 GB on the ESX , how can i extend the file system on the ESX server and have 400 GB vmfs volume

Thank you

Hello,

Rescan the HBA, and then hit properties on the datastore and increase size.

Thats all
