I have a VM running on ESXI 4 server , the data store capacitys is 200 GB and the free size is 23.33 GB<br />
<br />
while the VM itself has 2 drives :<br />
<br />
C with 9.8 GB used space and free space 1.01 GB <br />
D with 79.7 GB used space and free space 87.7 GB<br />
<br />
so i dont need all the data store capcity to be deticated to this VM as i am planning to have another VM on this server.<br />
<br />
What i want to do is limit the datastore capacity assigned to this VM.<br />
<br />
I am using Vsphere client to manage this ESXI sever.I am new to the VMware tools so i need a detailed steps of how can i do this as i couldnt reach any result through the search.<br />

ESXI datastore size

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
