VM ware ESXI 5.5 Data Store
2 part Question
Need advice on how to create a data store in VM ware 5.5 of the local storage that is on my Server. I have 2TB that is in raid 1 configured on it already and I have ESXI installed and set up already. I added the Host to my VSphere web client as well. How do I go about adding that 1TB of storage to my data store?
Also I am getting an issue that says System Logging is not configured on my host for the same one. I know if i got to settings and go to advanced system settings and look at the syslog.global.logDir is where I need to change it. But I want to change it to the Local Storage of the disks that are in the server.

okay, a number of reasons why....
1. storage controller not supported.
2. LUN or Disk not presented correctly to the OS.
So we need to understand what the server is, make and model, make and model of storage controller.
you can check under Storage Adaptors, and you should see the storage controller, and the device (disk) attached to it.
OR, you have provisioned all storage?
do you have any datastores ?
where did you install ESXi, onto the 2TB disk?
because usually it would create a default datastore of datastore or datastore1
