NFS Datastore inaccessible after ugprade to ESXi 8.0 update 2

After recent upgrade From ESXi 7.0 U3 to ESXi 8 update 2, i lost access to my NFS datastore. After hours of online search, i realized the culprit was the esxi firewall.

Resolution:

1. Enable SSH in esxi   

2. Log into ESXI host via ssh using putty and execute below command:

esxcli storage nfs firewall add --ip-mask=x.x.x.x/32   where x.x.x.x is the NFSserver.

2. Rescan the storage adapters and datastore and it should now appear...

Hope this is helpful to anyone having this issue regardless of the esxi version.
