still same issue event after re entering credentials 

here is an excerpt from ESXi server

I can confirm that, after reentering credentials for the target on each ESXi server and rescanning storage, the device appear and datastore can be increased 

Thanks for your help and patience

A restart of rbd services will require reentering chap credentials on targets ?
