A financial organization successfully deployed a new Workload Domain in VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) using...

The correct steps are to create an NFS export on the storage array and mount the NFS datastore on each ESX host in the cluster. NFS datastore creation begins on the storage system, where the storage administrator creates and exports the NFS volume or directory with the required access permissions for the ESX hosts. After the export exists, vSphere mounts that export as a datastore. For a clustered VCF workload domain, the datastore must be mounted consistently across all ESX hosts in the cluster so that HA, DRS, vMotion, and VM placement can operate correctly. Mounting the datastore on only one host would create inconsistent datastore accessibility and could prevent workloads from moving or restarting on other hosts. “Attach NFS as a secondary datastore” is not the correct procedural step; the datastore is created and mounted as a vSphere datastore. Configuring vSAN is irrelevant because the workload domain already uses NFS storage and the task is to add another NFS datastore.
