I don't get this for some reason... not even sure why. ESXi's default behaviour seems to be to allow hotplug, that does not seem to be deactivated. I am just not sure. Wonder if this could be the Centos 7 vs 6
- perhaps that is what I ought to test for.
what virtual SCSI controller type are you using for these VM's? Mine are 'paravirtual'.
Also, what guest OS and VM hardware version is the guest running as?

Tris, John,
Thanks!
I blew away the original VM I was using for testing as it came time to do the things for real in production - and, as much as I hated it, I just added the disk and rebooted the production machine to make it "see" that disk.
However, I have then decided to investigate the matter further. So I created a new one. It is running on an ESXi 5.5 server, VM Version 10, VMware Paravirtual SCSI controller, configured for RedHat 6/64-bit OS, running Centos 6/64 bit. And it worked perfectly when it came to "seeing" a hotplugged disk drive.
So I am not sure what to make of all of it - but it looks like freshly created VM's are OK and it was indeed something to do with the VM settings.
Cheers,
Boris.
