Hi All,
I've been trying to script creation of a datastore on a local disk in ESXi 5. I've found plenty of instructions for 4.1 whereby you first use partedUtil to initialise the disk and then use vmkfstools to create the vmfs volume and then use the vim-cmd vmfs_create command to create the datastore. However, for version 5, I could only one (virtually ghetto) where they only use partedUtil followed by vmkfstools and did not use vim-cmd vmfs_create. Can anyone tell me if that is all thats required or do I still need to use vmfs_create.
Kind Regards,
Vlad
