Mounting a datastore provides storage access to additional hosts. You can mount the datastore on the additional hosts after you add the hosts to your VMware environment.

Mount NFS and VMFS datastores

Mounting a datastore provides storage access to additional (NFS/VMFS) hosts. You can mount the datastore on the additional hosts after you add the hosts to your VMware environment.

Note
 Some of the right click actions are disabled or unavailable depending on vSphere client versions and the type of datastore selected. If you’re using vSphere client 8.0 or later versions, some of the right-click options are hidden. From vSphere 7.0U3 to vSphere 8.0 versions even though the options appear, the action will be disabled.

Steps

  1. From the vSphere Client home page, click Hosts and Clusters.

  2. In the navigation pane, select the datacenter that contains the host.

  3. Repeat Step 2 for any additional hosts.

  4. To mount NFS/VMFS datastores on host or host cluster, right-click on it, and then select NetApp ONTAP tools > Mount Datastores.

  5. Select the datastores that you want to mount, and then click Mount.

You can track the progress in the Recent Task panel.
