Hi VMware Champs,
I have ESXi 5.1 running on a 250 GB HDD (VMFS5), I added another 500 GB SATA disk to extend local storage. My first Datastore is intact. I successfully formatted the new 500 Gb disk with VMFS5 and added it in Storage as "datastore2".
Problem: Whenever I reboot the Server or try to put some data in datastore2 it goes off the list.
Datastores details
I tried to move data from datastore1 to datastore2 and it failed. below are the latest logs.
