You can use the storage assigned to an ESXi host as either a Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) datastore or a raw device mapping (RDM). RDMs are not supported on the NVMe over Fibre Channel protocol.
All 6.x and 7 x versions of ESXi support VMFS versions 5 and 6.
Steps
-
Make sure the volumes mapped to the ESXi host have been discovered properly.
-
For instructions on creating VMFS datastores or using volumes as RDMs with either the vSphere Client or the vSphere Web Client, see the VMware Documentation web site.
