Will it restrict our ability to add hot cpu ?? No it will not... See VMware KB: Disabling the HotAdd/HotPlug capability in ESXi 5.x and ESXi/ESX 4.x virtual machines /Rubeck

When I use these commands : vmkfstools -i vmfs/volumes/mydatastore/myvirtualmachinefoldername/my.vmdk vmfs/volumes/mydatastore/newmachinefoldername/new.vmdk -d thin Unless your working directory from where you execute this command is /, you would need a "/" in front of the paths....  so try: "vmkfstools -i /vmfs/volumes/mydatastore/myvirtualmachinefoldername/my.vmdk /vmfs/volumes/mydatastore/newmachinefoldername/new.vmdk -d thin" /Rubeck

Either way, you need to raise a support request to bring this up to be fixed if needed. :smileylaugh: This would require running a supported configuration... ESXi 5.5 U1 on DL160 G6 just doesn't seem to match up according to the VMware HCL. /Rubeck
