I must be stupid - how can I add 2 additional 2 TB SATA as data store drive?

I feel that I must be missing something super clear here.

I assembled just a new PC, and after that discover ESXi 5.0 did not like the built-in NETWORK interface, I tracked down a compatible Realtek that seems to work. The PC has (2) 2 TB SATA drives. I was hoping their band via RAID initially, but still less discovered the RAID config 2 separate disks were ultimately presented to ESXi 5.0 installer (both drives were listed for me to choose where I wanted to install ESXi). Since I couldn't take advantage of RAID, I removed the RAID configuration and disabled in the BIOS, so the two disks were completely independent one from the other. Then I launched the installer ESXi got 2 discs to choose once again and installed on the first disc.

Now I have ESXi 5.0 to the top and running and can properly control it from another PC with vSphere and get a virtual machine. The thing I can't for the life of understand me is, it lists only a 2 TB disk in data warehouses (I guess it's the drive I installed ESXi, but maybe I'm wrong and this is the other), and I can't understand how to add in the second disk as an additional data store. Should she just automatically appear under the section of the data store, or is there something special I need to do on the drive for what he stand? Out of curiosity, I put a 8 GB USB stick, just to see if it showed as a data store and the same thing... nothing listed. This makes me think there is a formatting or its initialization or whatever method to do a disk to use as a data store.

I was hunting around trying to find an ESXi 5.0 user guide that may have a 'data warehouses 101' section, but I am unable to find a guide 5.0.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Do not hesitate to make fun of me, if it comes to ESXi 101 stuff - I don't have a ton of experience with the product... ;-)

Just in case you missed it. Go to the configuration tab in the vSphere Client. Choose the storage and to add and then disk/LUN you should now be able to choose the second disc.

  • Simple question... How do to add pictures on the body of my MAILS found 1000 results for how can I add photos to my Thunderbird emails

    How can simple question - I add photos to my mail body. But instead of the answer - found 1000 results for how can I add photos to my Thunderbird emails. There are answers that don't apply at all to the question anyway. Why must it be so difficult to get a simple answer to a simple question?

    Thunderbird is a bit like Microsoft, all the reasons as I dumped MS Live Mail.

    First, a lot of help for Thunderbird refers to the menus that may not be visible. It would be useful to you and us if you have your menus and toolbars visible.

    http://chrisramsden.vfast.co.UK/13_Menus_in_Thunderbird.html

    Then, open a window of writing. Activate the menu and operate.

    Now that you see an option "Insert"?

    If this isn't the case, you can assign composing in plain text, which does not support embedded images.

    Tools | Account settings| {Select account} | Composition & addressing and ensure "Compose messages in HTML format" are checked. If it is not already checked, go back to writing a message. No better now?

    Once you have the mode of composition HTML goes, you can use Insert | Image or various permutations of copy - paste and drag - move to the body of your message.

  • How can I add a HD to my time capsule

    My old man (8 years) 2 t Time Capsule is running out of backup space for 3 machines that use it in our House.  How can I add 2T HD expansion make it last a few more years?

    It is easy to add a USB drive to the USB port at the back of the time Capsule to increase storage capacity, but this will have nothing to do with the internal player on the Time Capsule.  In other words, you have two drives separated ... one on the Capsule and the other on the USB attached to the time Capsule.

    If you begin to move the USB disk attached to the time Capsule backups, then Time Machine will do a new full backup of every Mac and then continue with incremental backups.

    Make sure that the USB to the Time Capsule that is formatted to work with Mac.  This would mean that it must be formatted in Mac OS extended (journaled).

    Hi Drake,

    Review the devices USB connected to your PC and make sure that there is not a USB 1.x device connected to the same USB HUB (front or rear).  USB 1.x devices will cause the USB HUB at the bottom shift to 1.x speeds.

    You have an old PC (2002), it is possible that your PC does not have a USB HUB 2.0.  In this case, you need to install a USB PCI adapter card.

  • How can I add a printer to my wireless network

    How can I add a printer to my wireless network

    John

    I assume that you have a wireless printer. If so, the software is different from each manufacturer, but it is similar to this. Before starting the installation, make sure that you have a USB cable at your fingertips and you know your network name (SSID) and wireless key. Install the software and follow the prompts to set up the connection Wireless for the first time. Once it has been set up you can unplug the USB cable.

    The USB cable is not required on subsequent computers, simply install the software and follow the prompts on the screen of an additional computer (or similar wording). You may need to enter an SSID and Wi - Fi key, after which the printer must be accounted for.
