my newly created vmfs volume is only version 3.46?

[dlee2654]

Hello,  just trying to understand what is happening.  I just created a new VMFS volume on my 5.0 (build 914586) and when I look at the version in vCenter it says that its version 3.46?  When I look up versioning it states my new volume should be 5.54. None of these hosts were in-place upgraded they all are fresh builds of ESXi 5.0 914586.  how can I create a volume and ensure its 5.54 from the start?

thanks,

Don

When you create a datastore, you have the option to create either a VMFS5 or VFS3 datastore. Can you confirm you selected VMFS5 in the wizard?

I definitely chose to create a VMFS 5 volume.  I will create a new one and test and report back thanks!

I just tested and the new volume is reporting as 5.54.  I cant expain it at this point.  I guess consider this solved until I find some rhyme or reason to what I witnessed.

thanks for the help!
