Running vmware 5 essentials
While making some network changes I unmounted a nfs datastore, so far so good.
However when I try to re-add the datastore using the same name it tells my that the name is already in use. Can someone please help me find how to re-add the datastore using the same name as before.

I am still quite new to vmware.

edit: nvm, found the answer, I finally googled enough to find out what I needed to google to find the answer the above. I had a / in front of the folder path when I kept trying to readd it and on the other host the datastore of the same name didn't use the / infront of the nfs folder name.

I got burned by that with our blade server when added new NFS storage - very frustrating!
