Did you see those volumes under the storage adapters? iSCSI or FC or Local?

The correct answer to the issue is as follows. Dave.Mishchenko's answer works but it does not address the core problem. The issue is that you MUST create the new scratch folder PRIOR to changing the...

If this is a datastore that is not used by any VM you can delete it. It says "VMware OS". Is this the disk where ESXi is installed?

Theres nothing on that datastore but I was unsure if it contains the ESX OS - does the default datastore contain the OS ?
View ArticleRe: Can I delete this datastore and extend the other ?
I don't think this will work. Even if you were able to extend the second datastore with this space, you'd run an unsupported configuration (e.g. different RAID sets, different disk speed, ...). Don't...

Unfortunately not. There is only 1 VM on it, a large F&P server which is running out of space - I was hoping to use that smaller datastore to increase the larger one.

What type of disks (size, speed, SAS/SATA) and how many disks do you have in the host?What might be an option - depending on how you are presenting the shares to the clients - is to add a second...

It has 8 SAS disks in it.2x146GB and 6x300GB disksI am guessing the first 2 are mirrored and this is the 'VMware OS' datastore.The other datastore must be the other 6 disks mirrored as well then! I...

Great, thanks for your time and help. Appreciate it. You've gave me a couple of things to think about. Joe.

On further reading of this it states that Migration will take about 15 minutes per GB. If this is the case that ESX has to be offline then this would probably be too long a period of time. Can this be...

I never had to convert a RAID set myself yet, so I can't tell you exactly how and whether it will work. In any case I'd strongly recommend that you backup the VM prior to converting or recreating the...
