Unmount NFS and VMFS datastores
Unmount datastore action unmounts a NFS or VMFS datastore from ESXi hosts. Unmount datastore action is enabled for NFS and VMFS datastores that are discovered or managed by the ONTAP tools for VMware vSphere.
-
Log in to the vSphere client using
https://<vcenterip>/<ui>
-
Right-click a NFS or VMFS datastore object and select Unmount datastore.
A dialog box opens and lists the ESXi hosts that the datastore is mounted on. When the operation is performed on a protected datastore, a warning message is displayed on the screen.
-
Select one or more ESXi hosts to unmount the datastore.
You cannot unmount the datastore from all hosts. The user interface suggests that you use the delete datastore operation instead.
-
Select the Unmount button.
If the datastore is part of a protected host cluster, a warning message is displayed.
|
If the protected datastore is unmounted the exiting protection setting may result in partial protection. Refer to Modify protected host cluster to enable complete protection. |
You can track the progress in the recent tasks panel.
