Datastore capacity expansion issue

TAM recommended to create new additional 4TB datastore, format it to VMFS 6 and use storage migration from old datastore (ibm103-xx) to new datastore (ibm104-xx).
Old datastore (ibm103-xx) will be empty and next week we will do further troubleshooting of old datastore (ibm103-xx) and will try datastore expansion in Host Client (HTML5).
TROUBLE SHOOTING COMMANDS
voma -m vmfs -f check -d /vmfs/devices/disks/naa.00000000000000000000000000000703:3
Running the esxcli storage core device list command shows the size of the extended LUN.
Running the vmkfstools -Ph /vmfs/volumes<datastore name> command shows the original size of datastore
Command partedUtil - Using the partedUtil command line utility on ESXi and ESX (1036609) - https://kb.vmware.com/kb/1036609
The whole runbook procedure is describe in VMware KB: Growing a local datastore from the command line in vSphere ESXi (2002461) - https://kb.vmware.com/kb/2002461
