First let me state that I absolutely, positively, and undeniably hate the web client. That would be okay if I could do everything in the vSphere Client but no, can't do that. New features apparently get added to the terrible Web Client. Ugh.
Here's the actually issue I'm having. I added a new SATA drive from and older ESXi (free) server which is a VMFS3 file system. According to the 6.0.0 docs, I should be able to use the awful Web Client, right click on the Datastore (It has no "Global Inventory LIsts", and viola! The option to upgrade is supposed to be one of the choices. Um, no. It's not. Doesn't matter if the server is in Maintenance mode or not, or if the VMFS3 datastore is mounted or unmounted, in Maintenance mode or not. The only options listed are: Rename, Increase Capacity, Unmount, Browse and Register a VM.
There are no KB articles within the last few years for VMFS3. The 6.0.0 ESXi documentation about Upgrading a VMFS3 Datastore to VMFS5 is flat out wrong, at least for my free "Hypervisor".
No "Upgrade" in sight. So what hoops do I now have to jump through to upgrade that VMFS3 datastore?
Oh, and wait. It's 2016 and there's still no sound support? Yes, I'm using a consumer MB with a RealTek auto chip but hey, c'mon. There should be at least basic, support for beeps from the VMs or something. It's an X99 system with a Broadwell-E processor.
Sorry, just need to get a few things off my chest. LOL.
Thanks,
Mark
