Issue

When creating a NFS datastore using OTV, the following following error can be seen in vCenter:

Cannot complete the operation. See the event log for details. Cannot create or mount NFS datastore because either none of your ESX host's VMkernel interfaces share a subnet with the controller or it would create an indirect data path. Try adding the network of the VMkernel interface(s) you'd like to use to mount to the default.allow.nfs.mount.networks property in the kaminoprefs.xml preferences file.
