My vCenter lab was having an issue with DNS and the ESXi hosts lost connection to the vCenter. After a few days, we were able to fix the problem and reconnect the Hosts to the vCenter.
However, the NFS datastores lost the mount connection to the hosts. Normally I would go into the ESXi shell and read the DS with esxcli commands...but this time something weird happened.
The Datastores no longer show that the hosts are connected to it. What's weirder, the hosts themselves do not have the datastore mount points. It is almost like the mount points were erased.
I want to remount the data stores but cannot unmount them from vCenter since the hosts are no longer connected to them.
Is there a way to remove them from vCenter so I can re-mount them?
