VMware vSphere

From my NAS I can see an error about my ESXi trying to mount an NFS, but I know it is not existing

------------

rpc.mountd[1555]: refused mount request from 192.168.xxx.xxx for /mnt/xxx/xxx (/): not exported

------------

Maybe I created a datastore refering to this before, but the datastore is not existing anymore. Also, none of my vm is using this NFS.

How can I determine what is trying to use this NFS from my ESXi ? and delete it...

Please check whether one of your VMs has e.g. a virtual CD-ROM drive, which settings point to an ISO image that was located on that NAS?

Even a VM snapshot which has/had a pointer to the NAS (at the time the snapshot was created) may cause this.

I tried,

I also tried to shutdown all VM, and still having the error on my NAS. This is why I think it can come from an old setting/config remaning somewhere.

Check Syslog.global.LogDir on the esxi host and make sure its not pointing there as well

Configure Syslog on ESXi Hosts

Do you see any reference to that NFS datastore in /etc/vmware/esx.conf ?

Thanks,

I removed reference to mount in /etc/vmware/esx.conf - rebooted and everithig is fine now.

Thanks again,
