You can use the New-Datastore
cmdlet to create a new datastore. The New-Datastore
cmdlet has two parameter sets, one for creating VMFS datastores and one for creating NFS datastores. The syntax of the New-Datastore
cmdlet is as follows:
New-Datastore [-Server <VIServer[]>] [-VMHost] <VMHost[]> [-Name] <String> -Path <String> [-Vmfs] [-BlockSizeMB <Int32>] [-FileSystemVersion <String>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>] New-Datastore [-Server <VIServer[]>] [-VMHost] <VMHost[]> [-Name] <String> -Path <String> [-Nfs] -NfsHost <String> [-ReadOnly] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
The -VMHost
, -Name
, -Path
, and –NfsHost
parameters are required.
