Configuring Server Storage: Disk Partitions and File Systems
Use the Storage Management option to manage SAN and attached storage devices.
- Click the Disks and LUNs tab to view and modify the partitions and file systems on your disks. You can create disk partitions that use the VMFS file system, suitable for storing disks for virtual machines. See Creating a New Disk Partition. From here, you can also edit, label and remove existing partitions. When you edit a VMFS partition, you can change the volume label, maximum file size, access mode and whether you want to span the partition. See Editing an Existing Disk Partition.
- Click the Failover Paths tab to view connections between the server machine and storage devices.
- Click the Adapter Bindings tab to view persistent binding status.
Note: We recommend that you do not remove, change, or reformat any volumes or partitions set up when you installed ESX Server. Removing a volume or partition will destroy all the data it contains.
