When you delete a VMFS datastore from an ESX Host, which of the following occurs?
A.
all hosts that were configured to use the datastore will no longer see the datastore and it is deleted from the storage device
B.
all hosts that were configured to use the datastore will no longer see the datastore, but it will remain on the storage device and can be remounted as needed
C.
the datastore will no longer be available to the host that it was deleted from, but all other hosts that were configured to use the datastore will remain connected
D.
only hosts in the same DRS/HA cluster no longer see the datastore, but it will remain on the storage device and can be remounted as needed
the Correct answer is B . When you delete a VMFS datastore – all files in it are deleted but the datastore still remains in the raw format with the storage device , which can be presented once again if formatted with VMFS.

Mounting means to map a existing formatted drive. therefore, option B is wrong. and option A is correct. if not convinced, us a lab.
