USB HDDをESXiのデータストアとして使う
Qiitaとかに山ほど情報が乗っているので説明は割愛します。
環境はこんな感じ
- ESXi6.7 Update1
- USB-HDDケース：LGB-EKU3
- HDD：WD20EARX(2TB)
USB接続されていることを確認

NAS(Shuttle KD20)に接続していたHDDなので、パーティションが見えてます。

usbarbitatorを止める
ゲストにUSBデバイスを見せないように設定を変更
[root@xxx:~] /etc/init.d/usbarbitrator stop UsbUtil: Releasing all USB adapters to VMkernel watchdog-usbarbitrator: Terminating watchdog process with PID 2098232 usbarbitrator stopped
自動起動しないように設定変更
[root@xxx:~] chkconfig usbarbitrator off
VMFSパーティション作成
GPTラベルをセット
[root@xxx:~] partedUtil mklabel /dev/disks/t10.Logitec_________________0123456789ABCDEF gpt
適当にVMFSパーティションを作成
容量計算が面倒なので1GB分作成（小さすぎるとフォーマットに失敗します）
[root@xxx:~] partedUtil setptbl /dev/disks/t10.Logitec_________________0123456789ABCDEF gpt "1 2048 20480000 AA31E02A400F11DB9590000C2911D1B8 0" gpt 0 0 0 0 1 2048 20480000 AA31E02A400F11DB9590000C2911D1B8 0
VMFS6でフォーマット
[root@xh61v:~] vmkfstools -C vmfs6 -S USB_Datastore /dev/disks/t10.Logitec_________________0123456789ABCDEF:1 create fs deviceName:'/dev/disks/t10.Logitec_________________0123456789ABCDEF:1', fsShortName:'vmfs6', fsName:'USB_Datastore' deviceFullPath:/dev/disks/t10.Logitec_________________0123456789ABCDEF:1 deviceFile:t10.Logitec_________________0123456789ABCDEF:1 ATS on device /dev/disks/t10.Logitec_________________0123456789ABCDEF:1: not supported .

HostUIから適当にリサイズ
ここまでやっていればHostUIからも弄れるようになっています。
作成したデータストアを容量拡張したら終わりです。
