A vSphere administrator attempts to manually vMotion a virtual machine but receives error
messages related to the Shared Storage datastore shown in the exhibit.
The administrator uses the vSphere Web Client and locates the datastore settings shown:
Which action should the administrator take to resolve these errors?
A.
Reconnect server3 to the vCenter server.
B.
Select server3 and click Mount.
C.
Remove server3 from the cluster then re-add it.
D.
Right-click Not connected and select Connect.
Explanation:
Answer is B
Following this link http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1005780 I think option C is the best answer.
Explanation:
Resolution
This issue may occur if you are using more than one VirtualCenter environment and presenting LUNs to the hosts. Allowing two different infrastructures to manage unrelated datastores causes a conflict at the filesystem level for the datastore label name.
Short-term Workaround
You must correct the filesystem datastore label names for the .vswap files on the affected virtual machines.
To correct the filesystem datastore label names:
Power off the virtual machine.
Right-click the virtual machine and remove the virtual machine from the host’s inventory.
Note: This does not remove the virtual machine or its files from the datastore.
To add the virtual machine back to the host’s inventory:
Select the ESX host.
On the Summary tab, right-click the datastore that houses that virtual machine and browse the datastore.
Open the directory for the virtual machine, right-click the .vmx file and add the virtual machine to the inventory.
Power on the virtual machine.
Correction: the answer is B, I was a little cofuse, if I only see the migrate VM message error could be C, but in the second image appear the datastore mounted status as unmounted on Esxbeta-3

Mount VMFS Datastores
You can mount an unmounted VMFS datastore.
Prerequisites
Browse to Datastores in the vSphere Web Client navigator. See “Display Datastore Information in the
vSphere Web Client,” on page 22.
Procedure
1 Right-click the datastore to mount and select Mount Datastore.
NOTE The datastore that is unmounted from some hosts while being mounted on others, is shown as
active in the inventory.
2 Select the hosts that should access the datastore.
