Add Storage (NFS)
Use the Add Storage page to select how you want to add storage for an NFS datastore.
• Create New NFS Datastore—Select this option to create a new NFS datastore to map.
• Map an Existing NFS Export—Select this option to select an existing NFS datastore to map.
Compatibility Mode
Use the Compatibility Mode page to select the access mode for the virtual disk.
• Physical—Select this option to allow the guest operating system direct access to the hardware. VMware snapshots of the virtual
machine do not include this disk.
• Virtual—Select this option to provide the guest operating system virtual access to the disk. As such, the VMware snapshots and other
advanced VMware features can be used. Note, however, that only providing virtual access might cause incompatibility issues with some
Dell applications.
