VMware datastore expansion
Hello,
I would like to extend size of a datastore on an ESXi 4.0 machine. There are two LUNs configured and two datastores using them. Datastore 1 is running out of space and I would like to add free space from datastore 2. However when I go to Datastore 1 --> Proprties --> Increase then the "Increase Datastore Capacity" window is completely blank. The question is - why?
Is that because I need an empty LUN to use for the expansion or is it bacause the ESX is running from the same LUN as the Datastore 1?
Kind Regards

Have you installed ESXi on the same LUN as datastore1 ?
