Hi,
When I was trying to create NFS datastore on ESXI host, I got he message of "an error occurred during host configuration".
I tried it several times, but the error message was same.
I am not sure that is it my fault or any malfunction of the game.
I need help regarding the issue.
Error
An error occurred during host configuration.
Call “HostDatastoreSystem.CreateNasDatastore” for object “ha-datastoresystem”
Best Wishes,

Need for Speed : An error occurred during host configuration
This error message is not really helpful and can be caused by a variety of issues. Things to try:
-
Ensure you can ping / resolve the FQDN of the NAS device from vCenter
-
Ensure DNS is configured properly on your NAS device
-
Ensure you are entering the right folder location when adding NAS datastore
-
Ensure the permissions on the NAS device is set properly for your ESX(i) servers(s) – also note root access is required
I have personally seen that all of these issues have caused the error message to appear. In my particular case, permissions were causing the problem.
