Which sequence of steps must a vSphere operator take to create an NFS datastore for a host, a cluster, or a data center?

To create an NFS datastore for a host, cluster, or data center, the correct sequence of steps involves right-clicking on an ESXi host and selecting the appropriate storage option to initiate the creation of a new datastore. This method provides a straightforward way to access storage-related tasks directly related to individual hosts within the vSphere environment.

When you right-click on an ESXi host and choose the option to create a new datastore, you’re given a context-specific menu that streamlines the process, ensuring that you're operating on the correct host. This method helps maintain clarity in managing your storage resources, as it clearly indicates the host for which the datastore is being created, allowing for better organization and less confusion.

The other methods listed may seem viable but do not provide the direct path to creating a new NFS datastore as intuitively as the selected answer. Some methods may involve extra navigation or selections that could hinder efficiency or could be less direct regarding creating a datastore specifically related to the chosen host. Therefore, the most effective approach is to right-click on an ESXi host, ensuring you’re accurately targeting the intended host for the new datastore creation.
