d Click Edit.
Note If the host is part of a cluster that specifies that the virtual machine swap files are stored in
the same directory as the virtual machine, you cannot click Edit. You must use the Cluster
Settings dialog box to change the swap file location policy for the cluster.
e Select Use a specific datastore and select a datastore from the list.
f Click OK.
