Partitioning storage and creating a file system for a VMware ESXi/ESX host

You can partition storage and create a file system for a VMware ESXi/ESX server.

As the preferred method, use the VMware Virtual Center (vSphere Client) product to partition LUNs and manage storage. For alternative methods, see the VMware Knowledge Base article at VMware Knowledge Base Performing a rescan of the storage on an ESX/ESXi host.
