Environment

VMware vCenter Server 7.0.x

VMware vCenter Server 8.0.x

Cause

After NFS volume rename, filesystem->Refresh() fails with 'volume not found'. That cause datastore to be reported as InActive and perf mgr stops collecting data for it.

Resolution

Removing and re-adding the datastore will allow the filesystem to re-sync with the rename of the NFS volume.
