EXSI6 Adding NFS Datastore

Hi,

Trying to mount an NFS datastore on all hosts in the cluster using the Vcenter Web console (Mount datastore to additional Hosts).

When it tries to list all the hosts without the datastore mounted it sits and waits and then times out. has anyone had this with the console for Esxi6 ?

There are only 20 hosts in the cluster so it shouldn't be an issue with the cluster size.

Not seen it, do you get an error message ?

No just a time out after a while, almost as if the console cant ever finish the list of hosts. its painful as it means you have to add the DS to all host individually rather than all at the same time. not to bad on a few but 32 is a tough ask!
It would seem like that is a bug, VMware Support is the best place for that, if you can add the NFS exports (datastores) individually.

Have you tried scripting it....

We wrote a script (PowerCLI) to do ours, works very quickly.... you can have it if you like.
Hi, Can you send me the script to save me adding it :). many thanks.
