I think I know exactly what happened to you.

 

Here is diagram

 

P400 (P420i) with 12 Drives of 3TB --- Single virtual Drive of Raid 6 30GB --Shown to -> Vmware ESXI

 

Meaning, you have entire 12 Drives grouped ( (12 -2) X 3)  in HW controller as single Virtual Drive of 30 GB.

Of course , Vmware can only see single Lun ( LUN = Virtual Drive from Controller).  This is why you can

resize it, but you can not add more lun/drive since there is none.

 

There are many ways to config HW raid controller. Say you want to have 2 LUN/Drives on Vmare,

you would do 2 virtual drives in Raid OS. 

 

For performance reason, you want to stay with SINGLE virtual drive.
