Video Transcription
00:04
Okay, now we'll see how easy it is to remove a data store.
00:09
I simply right click and select elite.
00:12
You get a warning.
00:16
And while that's the leading,
00:18
we can think about the fact that this
00:21
file systems storage is now being released back to the lunch.
00:26
That means that another
00:27
data store could claim in the future. Or we could create
00:31
new data stores with that storage.
00:36
I were waiting for that. We can see how easy it is to extend a data store.
00:42
So in this case, I'll be extending
00:45
V. M. F s dash, too,
00:47
by adding another extent.
00:51
All right, let's hit the delete. Finally finished.
00:56
So I've got the data store selected. I'll go to the Properties link
01:02
and I can select increase.
01:08
I have two lungs available.
01:11
Add some storage so I'll pick the 1st 1 on my list.
01:19
Tells me this long has two discs.
01:25
Sorry to lunge comprised this storage. I said that sort of backwards,
01:30
you know, Go ahead and use the maximum available space.
01:40
Quick finish.
01:44
This will take a moment,
01:47
but when it's done, we'll be able to see that we have two devices
01:51
making up
01:53
this particular V. M. F s file system to two extents.
01:57
There we go.
02:00
They don't have to be the same size
02:02
for performance reasons. It it might matter in certain situations, but in general, it doesn't matter.
02:10
And we can see our new total capacity of seven and 1/2 gig out of the available eight gig.
02:21
All right, let's rename this. I don't really like
02:24
private V M f s to any longer.
02:30
Let's call it
02:32
if g b
02:37
you
02:38
Okay, so that concludes the lab.
02:40
See you in the next one. Thank you.
02:43

03:27
Looks like the delete friendly. Finished.
03:31
So I've got the data store selected. I'll go to the Properties link,
03:38

03:44
I have two lungs available.
03:46
Add some storage, so I'll pick the 1st 1 on my list.
03:54
Tells me this long has two discs.
04:00
Sorry to lunge. Comprised this storage. I said that sort of backwards,
04:06
You know, Go ahead and use the maximum available space
04:15
you could finish.
04:19
This will take a moment,
04:23

05:00
private V m f s to any longer.
05:06
Let's call it.
05:09
It's G B.
05:13
You
05:13
Okay, so that concludes the lab.
05:16
See you in the next one. Thank you. All right. In lab number nine, we will start working with 10 plates and clones. See you there.
