Depending on your virtualization platform (VMware, Hyper-V, etc.), create new datastores with the desired size and configuration. These should be created with enough free space to accommodate the data you plan to move

For VMware: Use Storage vMotion to migrate virtual machines from the existing 190 TB datastore to the new ones. This process allows you to move VMs without downtime.
For Hyper-V: Use Live Migration to move VMs to the new datastores. Again, this can be done without service interruptions.

If you are not using a virtualization platform that supports live migrations, you might need to use data migration tools to move data between datastores. Tools like Veeam, Zerto, or similar solutions can help facilitate the transfer.

Once you have moved the data to the new datastores, you can resize the original 190 TB datastore to a smaller size to free up space. Depending on your storage system, this process may vary.

Keep an eye on the performance of the new datastores, and regularly monitor the storage usage. Adjust the sizes of the datastores as needed to accommodate future growth.

Remember that splitting a datastore is a significant operation, and there is always a risk involved. Careful planning, testing, and having backups in place are crucial to minimize the potential for data loss or service disruptions. It's advisable to involve experienced IT personnel or administrators who are familiar with your specific virtualization and storage environment.

Hello Team Members, very good suggestion from all of you.
There is a restriction that we can not make datastore more than 190 TB with all flash disks.
This was the only reason to split the datastore, as new SSDs have been installed but unable to expand existing datastore.
This issue will be resolved in the next version that is HCI 691. so this solution ll be perfect, only  we need to wait on the release date. Enjoy using sangfor HCI.
