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 in vSphere, the operator typically starts by right-clicking on an ESXi host in the vSphere Client inventory, then navigating the context menu to 'Storage' and selecting 'New Datastore'. This action initiates a wizard that guides the user through selecting the datastore type (NFS in this case), configuring its settings, and mounting it to the host or cluster.

While 'Actions' menus exist, the primary entry point for creating new datastores is usually through the right-click context menu on a host, and the 'NFS' selection comes later within the 'New Datastore' wizard, not directly as a top-level action.

The 'Datastore' tab is used to view existing datastores and their properties, not typically as the primary starting point for creating a brand new one.

Selecting an ESXi host and clicking the 'Configure' tab > 'Storage Devices' shows existing storage adapters and devices but does not initiate the process for creating a new datastore.
