Important
In vSphere version 6.5 or after, support for vSphere Client has been discontinued.
To set VMware ESXi, use an item (VMware Host Client, etc.) other than vSphere
Client.
VMware Host Client uses the Web browser. Therefore, the requirements of the Web
browser must be met.

Important
If special characters are used for the datastore name, an error may occur
unexpectedly. Therefore, do not use special characters for the datastore name. For
details, refer to Knowledge Base of VMware.

Note
When configuring RAID device using esxcli storage mpm create command, some
data remains unerased, and the existing VMFS datastore may be displayed on datastore
list. In this case, erase the existing datastore, then create a new datastore.
