Datastore Properties

Use the Datastore Properties page to specify properties for the datastore.

• Datastore name – Type a name for the datastore.

• Maximum file size – If the file system version is VMFS-3, select the file system block size option for

the datastore. The block size affects the maximum file size the new datastore can support.

NOTE: VMFS-5 uses a unified 1-MB file block size. Therefore, the Maximum file size option is

not displayed if the file system version is VMFS-5.

• Inventory Location – Select the location for the datastore.
