Any idea what the reason is or how to prevent this from happening.
BTW: The datastore is mounted intentically (via domain name) from both ESXi server.
Thanks.
Yes you must have unique Datastore names (and VM's for that matter) in vCenter. Well Datastore can be duplicated, but each successive add of the same datastore will append (1) to the name then (2) etc..
So you must have this same datastore mounted elsewhere, that's the only reason you see the (1). VMWare uses the unique name not the human readable form to connect. That name you give it is just for show, it's a label.
But that is not the problem. vCenter / ESX creates a unique identifier for each item within vCenter. So you can rename datastores all day long, it will not change the unique id associated with that device.
You must have a problem with the NFS mount itself, that's where your problem is. I would check the NFS server logs, because that's where the problem should be.
