Dear Team,
we have one esx host, in that i have one LUN from DS3400 Storage, folowing is the details,
ESX 4.1.0 260247
Existing Datastore from DS3400: 1.99 TB
New LUN from Same Storage i.e DS3400 size of 250GB
As a best practice what should i do show i create a new datastore size of 250GB or else i consolidate new LUN with Existing datastore i.e . Extend existing datastore 1.99TB + 250GB. Need your asisstance on the same.
regards
Mr VMware
If upgrading to ESXi 5 - which supports larger LUNs - is not an option, I would create a second datastore. Adding the LUN as an extent is possible but would introduce unnecessary dependencies for the future.

agreed, just make a new datastore liek a.p says
