Maybe I should read what's on the different screens in the wizards Smiley Wink Since the datastore is actually created by one of the hosts, you need to select on which one it will be done. However, as you saw, the datastore will show up on all hosts which have the LUN presented from the storage.

(the folder which includes the vmx file) has the appropriate block size too!

How do you do this?

If the VM was created on a datastore with e.g. a 1 MB block size, you can only add virtual disks up to ~256 GB to this VM, regardless of the block size of the datastore on which you are going to create this new virtual disk. This is because of the fact, that snapshots of virtual disks in ESXi 4.x will - by default - be located in the VM's base folder. In order to be able to attach larger virtual disks to such a VM, you need to migrate it to another datastore with the appropriate block size.
