What are two consequences of deleting an NFS datastore from an ESXi host? (Choose two.)
A.
The datastore is removed from all connected ESX/ESXi hosts.
B.
The datastore and all virtual machines are removed from the storage device.
C.
The datastore and all virtual machines remain on the storage device.
D.
The datastore is only removed from that specific ESX/ESXi host.
are you sure about C & D?
C is right as
there is a directory on NFS Server that you mount on ESXi as a datastore (with out formatting the VMFS) and the same directory can be mount on another ESXi. So un-mounting / Removing that datastore from one ESXi will not delete any data ‘VMs’ on NFS Server.
I believe the correct answer is A and B.
