Explanation
In a vSphere-based Nutanix cluster, storage containers are exposed to ESXi hosts as NFS datastores. When new nodes are added to the cluster, they are not automatically mounted with the existing NFS datastores. The administrator must go into Prism, navigate to the Storage Containers section, and click 'Mount' to mount the containers on the newly added ESXi hosts. This makes the shared storage visible as datastores on those hosts, allowing VM migration to proceed. The other options (iSCSI adapter, firewall rules, whitelists) are not relevant to this standard NFS-based container mounting workflow.
