Need to add exisiting datastore to new host.

Hi All,

I have a 5 Blade Intel Modular server with 14 disks in a RAID 6 array.

I don't have vmotion, still hoping to get approval for the spend.

I had a datastore with a single VM in it on Blade 1.

I have moved the storage area to Blade 4, and would like to not destroy the VM that is on it.

What I need to do is to add the existing Datastore so I can then browse it and bring the VM back to life.

I can see the storage space, and could create a new datastore over the existing one, but that would destroy the file system on it.

How do I add an existing datastore to this Blade?
