The backend storage volume corresponding to the datastore has been removed and the datastore appears as Inactive, when I want to remove (via vSphere Client connected to vCenter server) the NFS datastore I receive this error message: Unmounting the datastore in vCenter Server fails with the error: ‘Call “HostDatastoreSystem.RemoveDatastore” form object “datastoreSystem-28” on vCenter Server “xxxx” failed. CannotRemove datastore ‘datastorename’ because Storage I/O control is enabled on it. Correct it and re-try the operation Solution: To resolve this issue, log in directly to each ESXi host that has access to the inactive datastore and manually remove it. – Connect to the vSphere ESXi host using SSH – Run this command to list the mounted datastores: esxcli storage nfs list – Run this command to unmount the NFS datastore: esxcli storage nfs remove –v datastorename The inactive NFS datastore has been removed Note: if your datastore display name have some spaces, please use quotes More information.
