I've been trying to increase the size of a data disk on my Server 2025, but it's not working as expected. This server has an OS disk and two 1TB data disks set up in the Azure portal. I successfully expanded one of the data disks, but when I check it in Windows Server's disk management, it still shows as 1TB. At first, the 'RESCAN DISKS' option was greyed out, but after a few minutes, it became active. I hit it to rescan the disks, but the size still hasn't updated. Even using diskpart didn't help. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Have you checked if the disks are part of a storage pool? If that's the case, manually increasing the disk size in Azure might not be the correct way to do it. You probably need to add extra disks to the pool instead. Just a thought!
Good point! I did set this up as a SQL server through Azure, so maybe the standard procedures are a bit different here. I'm a bit worried about the implications of this, though. I don't want to pay for storage I'm not able to use!
