New-Datastore [-Server <VIServer[]>] [-VMHost] <VMHost[]> [-Name]
<String> -Path <String> [-Nfs] -NfsHost <String[]> [-ReadOnly]
[-Kerberos] [-FileSystemVersion <String>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]
[<CommonParameters>]
The second parameter set is to create VMFS datastores:
New-Datastore [-Server <VIServer[]>] [-VMHost] <VMHost[]> [-Name]
<String> -Path <String> [-Vmfs] [-BlockSizeMB <Int32>]
[- FileSystemVersion <String>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]
[<CommonParameters>]
The -VMHost
