Failed to expand VMFS datastore DS1 - Cannot change the host configuration.

[JeffPetersonIT]

I have a Free ESXi host, and need to expand the datastore.  I have added a 1TB hdd to the array, sucessfully.  The datastore shows the size correctly; 2.73TB.  Unfortunately, the datastore is on the same array as the ESXi host, so expanding from the 6.5 GUI does not work.  I am trying to use this VMware KB:  https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2002461

I have found the partition as naa.600508b1001cbbd5698bab11f75fc569:3., but when I use the partedutil get, it goves me only this: 242231 255 63 3891445135.  That appears nothing like what is shown in the KB.  I'm not clear on what to do here.

Furthermore,  partedUtil getUsableSectors "/vmfs/devices/disks/naa.600508b100
1cbbd5698bab11f75fc569:3" reports "Unknown partition table on disk /vmfs/devices/disks/naa.600508b1001cbbd5698bab11f75fc569:3"

Any suggestions?
