Volume Increase on SAN

After increasing a volume on a SAN refresh the scsi channels on all esxi hosts after the SAN increase. If this is not done then some hosts may not see the correct size of the volume on the SAN and will cause any changes in disks to error. This is required on DELL MEs and/or COMPELENT SANs
