Resizing a datastore enables you to increase the storage for your virtual machine files. You can change the size of a datastore as your infrastructure requirements change.

About this task

You can increase the size of NFS and VMFS datastores. A FlexVol volume in these datastores cannot shrink below its current size but can grow up to 120%.

Steps

  1. From the vSphere Client home page, select Hosts and Clusters.

  2. In the navigation pane, select the data center that contains the datastore.

  3. Right-click the NFS or VMFS datastore and select NetApp ONTAP tools > Resize datastore.

  4. In the Resize dialog box, enter a new size for the datastore and select OK.
