Creating datastores

You can use the New-Datastore cmdlet to create a new datastore. The syntax of the New-Datastore cmdlet is as follows. The first parameter set is to create NFS datastores:

New-Datastore [-Server <VIServer[]>] [-VMHost] <VMHost[]> [-Name]

    [-Kerberos] [-FileSystemVersion <String>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]

New-Datastore [-Server <VIServer[]>] [-VMHost] <VMHost[]> [-Name]
