VMWARE – UNABLE TO REMOUNTING NFS datastore from the ESXi

You cannot see nfs datastore on esxi. Try to do the munting, but the procedure fails saying that the datastore already exists.

To resolve this issue, remove and re-add the datastore via the command line

1. To list the mounted datastores on the host:

   esxcli storage nfs list

2. Make a note of the NFS datastore from step 1. Run this command to delete the NFS mount:esxcli storage nfs remove -v NFS_Datastore_Name

Run this command to mount the NFS datastore:

esxcli storage nfs add -H NFS_IP|NFS_HOSTNAME -s Share_mount_point_on_the_NFS -v DatastoreName
