An attempt to mount the .iso file to the virtual machine fails, but subsequent testing shows that the .iso file can be mounted to a virtual machine running on another ESXi 5.x host. Which step can be taken to enable access to the .iso file for the affected virtual machine?

Options

  • AReboot all ESXi hosts in the cluster where the affected virtual machine is running.
  • BRefresh all datastores on the ESXi host running the affected VM.
  • CRescan all datastores on the ESXi host running the affected VM.
  • DUnmount the volume from the ESXi host running the affected VM, and then add as a new datastore.
