topic vSwap, changing location ? in VMware Solutions Discussions https://community.netapp.com/t5/VMware-Solutions-Discussions/vSwap-changing-location/m-p/48951#M4710 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I have three ESX 3.5 hosts and for all of my VMs the vSwap file is stored with my virtual machine. I want to create a centralized datastore on a separate volume to house the vSwap files. Do I need to create 3 separate datastores to do this? In other words, do the vSwap files for each ESX host need to reside on separate datastores or can they reside on one datastore?</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:20:53 GMT HendersonD 2025-06-05T07:20:53Z vSwap, changing location ? https://community.netapp.com/t5/VMware-Solutions-Discussions/vSwap-changing-location/m-p/48951#M4710 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I have three ESX 3.5 hosts and for all of my VMs the vSwap file is stored with my virtual machine.
