Hi All,
I'm currently using VMware Server 2.02 on windows 7 x64. I have held out from upgrading as my desktop server has 3 USB HDDs attached to it of which I have VMs running on each HDD. Spreading out the load for performance or in the event of HDD crash not all my VMs will go down. VMware server allowed you to do this as it can be configured to have more than 1 VM save location ie\ DataStores. I wish they would make a newer version of VMware server.
Anyhow I have installed VMware PRO on 2 new desktops - 1 running workstation PRO 15 (Windows 10 x64 host), one running workstation pro 14 (Windows 10 x64 Host). I have set the save VM location in the preferences on both, but don't have the option of adding more save locations for VMs. :-( On know there is shared VM option I can set but his is not what I want to at this time. I want to use multiple save locations so I can save VMs to any one of my 3 USB HDDs or my network NAS drive.
I have searched and only found one link with regards to this and it entails modifying the Datastores.XML file. I tried this but it did not work for me.

has anyone had success with this or know how to do this ?
thanks,
