An attempt to delete NFS datastore from a ESXi host returns the error:
Sysinfo error on operation returned the following status: Busy
Which two statements could explain this failure? (Choose two.)
A.
NFS datastore is a part of Storage DRS Cluster.
B.
NFS.VolumeRemountFrequency value is set to 30.
C.
Storage I/O Control is enabled on NFS datastore.
D.
NFS datastore has running or registered virtual machines.
c,d

Well the question itself is a nonsense.
There is no operation Delete on NFS datastore.
In case unmount was meant, A+C+D are requirements.
Probably the difference would be a message.

please inform yourself next time before posting such bullshit. of course it’s possible. host> related objects > datastores > right click > all vcenter actions > delete datastore
@alvo
Did you pass the exam recently ?
Is it same to attempt the exam with these 70 Q
It’s C, D.
A is true, but when NFS is part of a DRS cluster but other storage is selected as preferred, you can remove it anyhow
CD
When appropriate, before unmounting datastores, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
– No virtual machines reside on the datastore.
– Storage DRS does not manage the datastore.
– Storage I/O Control is disabled for this datastore.
You can delete any type of VMFS datastore, including copies that you have mounted without resignaturing. When you delete a datastore, it is destroyed and disappears from all hosts that have access to the datastore.
Before you begin
– Open a vSphere Client connection to a vCenter Server.
– Remove all virtual machines from the datastore.
– Make sure that no other host is accessing the datastore.
The datastore delete operation permanently deletes all files associated with virtual machines on the datastore. Although you can delete the datastore without unmounting, it is preferable that you unmount the datastore first.

Before you begin
Remove or migrate all virtual machines from the datastore.
Make sure that no other host is accessing the datastore.
Disable Storage DRS for the datastore.
Disable Storage I/O Control for the datastore.
Make sure that the datastore is not used for vSphere HA heartbeating.
