Hello everyone,
I have the following problem:
ESXi 7.0 U2 is installed on a single local NVMe drive. That NVMe disk is presented as a datastore to the host. We have a request to make two new datastores from that one datastore. There are currently no VMs on that local datsore, only ESXi is installed.
I found that it is necessary to use the partedUtil command for something like this, but this command does not pass, ie I have the following error: Error: Read-only file system during write on /dev/disks/naa.600508b1001cc4af8049460e7013b73b
Unable to delete partition 7 from device /vmfs/devices/disks/naa.600508b1001cc4af8049460e7013b73b
PartedUtil command output:
partedUtil getptbl /vmfs/devices/disks/naa.600508b1001cc4af8049460e7013b73b

Marked above in red is the partition that I should delete and make two new partitions from it, which I would later present to the ESXi host as two datastores.
Is it even possible to do this with the partedUtil command and what is the best procedure for that?
Thank you very much,
Milos
