Q: What does deprecation and End of Support (EOS) for VMFS-3 in VMware vSphere 6.0.x mean?
Existing VMFS-3 datastores can still be seen and accessible to the VMware ESXi 6.0.x ESXi hosts.
Note: The creation of new VMFS-3 datastores is no longer available in VMware vSphere 6.0.x. VMFS-5 is the only available option when provisioning new datastores.
