Dear community
I have a bigger problem with my VMware Esxi and hope someone have an idea how to solve it.
Because of less space, I had to make a fresh installation with four new disks.
Previously, with the local VMware client, I could easily download all the VM files from each machine and then re-upload them later. Unfortunately, this is no longer possible with the new web client and I had to follow the link below:
https://www.virten.net/2016/11/usb-devices-as-vmfs-datastore-in-vsphere-esxi-6-5/
That worked well and I was finally able to download the whole files to the external USB device.
Then I installed the new four disks (RAID5) and also a new VMware Esxi version (6.5 U2).
When I connected the external hard drive called “USB Datastore”, I saw that he recognized it, but no space is available (attachment Picture 1).

I was not able to upload more Pictures.
Can someone help me here?
Thank you very much.
Kind regards
