![]() Is the really not anyway to mount an NTFS drive (not USB) under ESXi - that way I could just convert from the backup drive to the datastore (nice and easy)Ģ. ![]() Firstly I have to get them on to the ESXi server in the first instance, and since we are looking at about 5Tb of data it is going to take FOREVER (been running for 2 days now - still nowhere near complete) and the second is even if I do get them onto the server, I will need another 5Tb of drive space to convert them into, which I don't have.ġ. I know I can convert them using vmkfstools (with the -i switch from memory) but I have two problems with this. The problem I have is that the VMDK files I have are the older version so not compatible with the curernt ESXi. However, the backups I have of the old machines are on NTFS formatted drives (not USB, they are in our backup machine) which means that they are unable to be mounted (as far as I can tell) under ESXi. We have recently had a server failure and I have decided to rebuild the server and put ESXi 4 on it.
