Term
| T/F: you can upgrade a VMFS2 datstore to a VMFS 3 datastore on an ESXi 5.0 host then upgrade to VMFS 5 |
|
Definition
False: To upgrade a VMFS2 datastore, you use a two-step process that involvesupgrading VMFS2 to VMFS3 first. Because ESXi 5.0 and later hosts cannot access VMFS2 datastores, use a legacy host, ESX/ESXi 4.x or earlier, to access the VMFS2 datastore and perform the VMFS2 to VMFS3 upgrade.
After you upgrade your VMFS2 datastore to VMFS3, the datastore becomes available on the ESXi 5.x host, where you complete the process of upgrading to VMFS5. |
