Experienced an accidental power loss today. I have two NAS devices, one is still working fine the other...not so much.
Within vSphere the one that is not working simply shows "inactive". I have SSH'ed into the hosts and for each host, if I run:
esxcli storage nfs list
It shows the "missing" NFS as Accessible=False Mounted=False.
I then ran:
esxcli storage nfs remove -v VMs1
Which removed the NFS from the "nfs list" command results.
However, within vSphere it still shows the missing NFS as "inactive". I also noticed that it shows the path to where it is expected to be found (//vmfs/volumes/15157389-87bcc10e/)
If I go to /vmfs/volumes on any of my hosts I see the other NFS that is still working, but no reference to 15157389-87bcc10e.
Is there a simple way to recreate the mount within /vmfs/volumes so that everything "reconnects"? It would appear to me that if I could recreate //vmfs/volumes/15157389-87bcc10e on each host then it would work again.
It's worth noting the NAS is functioning fine - I can attach to the share directory from any other computer and server. The ESXi hosts simply lost their reference somehow.
