Adding storage to a Virtual machine
Hello,
There are 2 was to add storage to a Vmware virtual machine :
1) to present the storage (volume) to the physical server (hosting virtual machines) with Unisphere.
2) to use Unisphere (Host > Virtual server ...) add server ... add storage (volume)
What do you think is the best way ?
Thanks for your help
Regards
Consty

Consty,
I would recommend option number 1 in most cases. Option 2 only allows you to provision RDMs and typically you want to provision virtual disks not RDMs. So I would add storage to the ESXi physical host and then format it as VMFS and then create a virtual disk and add it to whatever VM. Another option is to provision new storage from within the vSphere Client using something like the VSI tool.
