Hi,

Thanks for you answer, that I've marked as the correct answer.

In order for me to access it, I had to first enable and get access to the command line with SSH. For that I followed the procedure for "Enable ESXi Console and SSH" in this post.

After that, the process outlined above worked sweet. It boils down to running this from the command line:

esxcfg-nas -l

which lists shares, and shows an error for 'cosmo'. Now put a line for host "cosmo" into /etc/hosts manually (I used 'vi' for that). Run

esxcfg-nas -l

again. This time no errors. Now delete the share with:

esxcfg-nas -d cosmo


Remove previous line for 'cosmo' from /etc/hosts and all is well. Now shares can be mounted from vSphere again as expected.
