What action can help successfully delete an NFS datastore that shows a busy status?

1. Suspend any running virtual machines and unmount the NFS datastore.

2. Change the NFS HeartbeatDelta value to a positive integer.

3. Forcefully unmount the datastore.

4. Delete any stored snapshots associated with the datastore.

The correct answer is: Suspend any running virtual machines and unmount the NFS datastore.

To successfully delete an NFS datastore that shows a busy status, the action of suspending any running virtual machines and unmounting the NFS datastore is crucial. When a datastore is marked as busy, it typically means that there are active connections or operations occurring within that datastore. This situation can arise if virtual machines are still running or if other operations are still pending. By suspending any running virtual machines, you can effectively stop them from accessing the datastore, which allows for a clean unmounting process. Unmounting the datastore while no virtual machines are actively using it ensures that all operations are completed, preventing corruption or data loss during the deletion process. Once unmounted, the datastore can be safely deleted without any obstructions or errors arising from residual activity. The other actions suggested may not effectively resolve the busy status. Changing the NFS HeartbeatDelta value does not directly address the issue of active connections and may not have any impact on the busy status. Forcefully unmounting the datastore could lead to data corruption or loss because it does not ensure that all operations are properly stopped before unmounting. Deleting snapshots associated with the datastore may also not resolve the busy status if there are still active virtual machines utilizing the datastore. Overall,
