ESXi 5.x
To remove a datastore:
1. To list the mounted datastores on the host:
# esxcli storage nfs list
# 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
Note: This operation does not delete the information on the share, it unmounts the share from the host. If the NFS datastore is being used by either a virtual machine or a third party script, you may see this error:
Error performing operation: NFS Error: Unable to Unmount filesystem: Busy.
# esxcli storage nfs remove -v NFS_Datastore_Name
Note: This operation does not delete the information on the share, it unmounts the share from the host. If the NFS datastore is being used by either a virtual machine or a third party script, you may see this error:
Error performing operation: NFS Error: Unable to Unmount filesystem: Busy.
3. To add the datastore, 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
On a working cluster, you only need to do this on one node, the others will pickup.
