Where is NAS in vCenter

[gciscol]

 

Hi I want to add NAS as storage in vCenter. Based on the below protocol, I added the NAS to host under vCenter. but I cannot see the NAS when i try to migrate a VM to the NAS. Did i miss some step? Thanks

 

1. Log in to the vSphere Client or vSphere Web Client.
2. Select the vCenter server where you want to add the NAS storage.
3. Navigate to the "Hosts and Clusters" view.
4. Select the ESXi host to which you want to add the NAS storage.
5. Right-click on the ESXi host and choose "Storage" > "New Datastore" from the context menu.
6. In the "New Datastore" wizard, select "Network File System" (NFS) as the datastore type.
7. Enter the necessary information for the NAS storage, including the NAS server's IP address or hostname, the share path, and the datastore name.
8. Specify the access permissions and authentication details for the NAS storage if required.
9. Review the summary information and click "Finish" to add the NAS storage.

And you can see the NAS device as a datastore under that particular host?

Thanks for your reply. Under each host, I cannot see NAS

Does it show up as a datastore at the vCenter level? If so, is it showing linked to any of the hosts there?
