A solution to the "unable to connect to the NFS server" that I can't understand

(This question is related to the interaction between ESXi and FreeNAS and talk a lot here, but the solution was finally on FreeNAS configuration change, so I hope it's ok that I post in this forum.  It relates to the use of FreeNAS of ESXi).

I have a FreeNAS system set up specifically for the copy of the virtual machines of my ESXi server as a backup mechanism.  I tried to mount a NFS of FreeNAS disk and ran in a (what appears to be, from discussions on the forum, a common place) problem.  ESXi, during an attempt fix the part gave me the "unable to connect to the NFS server" message.  The search in the log files, I could see some more detail, but nothing that pointed to a solution.  I also searched the logs on the FreeNAS system, nothing helps.

I was using the IP address of the FreeNAS (static address) system instead of the DNS name when you are trying to reach the storage.

After hours of trying different methods, creation of username on FreeNAS trying up to ESXi, scouring through all the various points of ESXi config, etc. I am getting nowhere.  Then I came across a post somewhere (not here on the forums, but in a blog somewhere) that said add the ESXi server to the hosts on the FreeNAS system file.

Once we added - bingo-test.  ESXi logged in straight away and I am running.

Now, I am trying to determine why the addition of ESXi machine to the FreeNAS hosts file would allow ESXi to connect.  Anyone have any ideas?  The IP address of the ESXi system was already in the allowable range set up in the UI on FreeNAS.

Thanks in advance.

Mounting NFS export list process requires the resolution of the customer's name. When a customer initiates the request for an NFS share, server checks its list of export for the requested directory and the name of the customer in this access list for this particular action. Now if the server fails to resolve the name of the initiator denies his request for the mounting of this share. In order to overcome this problem, you must have a dns server in the network, or do you have enter you the names and information of IP address to the server hosts file

  • Confused about replacement of the object style that I can't understand

    Hello

    So I'll try to understand and to clean up a book a bit messy, I inherited (lots of inconsistent style and replacements). There are a bunch of boxes that have a style of object applied to them, but seem to have odd substitutions, which I can't understand how even got implemented Medallion.

    In particular, they have a substitution of "text frame General Options (spacing inset at left; Inset spacing on the right. I can't understand how you can even replace the object for this style.

    Even more strange, the paragraph style has a right of withdrawal. 0625 "and the withdrawal to the left of 0, but on the screen, I see the left indent is also. 0625 ". Even if it is not specified anywhere.

    Inside the style, is the inset spacing. 0.25 "right and left 25" and it's actually how the text is aligned. But it is clear lines on screens as if there is a left and right inset of 0,1875 "and a withdrawal of paragraph 0,0625 on both sides, when styles don't say this.

    Why do I care about all this? Well, I need to convert this CS6, and when I did, I found an extra. 0625 "Indent on the right side causing overset text. This led me down this rabbit hole.

    I know I have to get rid of all completely replacements and I intend to do at some point, but I can't do it right now for reasons of time, and I'm also actually really curious what is happening here. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you.

    You have shown a paragraph style, but not necessarily one that is actually used. I have no way of knowing what calls for the definition of object style (but I see a substitution for the paragraph style), or what style is assigned to the text in this framework.

    Messed up, it is probably a good description of the current state, but to understand what is wrong, you will have to dig into what is really defined as opposed to what the appeal of styles to, then delete the replacements or redefine styles to give you what you want and probably some of both.

    You can use find/replace to find a style and replace it with itself to remove the replacements, I recall.

    Hi, I have a dell Windows pc 8.

    Any help please

    Kumar,

    Thanks for your help. I found a similar problem after I posted. Vijay said on July 7, 2013. He proposed to test the computer in safe mode, and then perform a clean boot to solve the problem.

    I tested in mode of sure start before returning to the normal sign in and magically, it seems to have solved the problem.

    If the problem comes back, I will try your solution.

    Can not think of any changes made to the computer with the exception of a Windows update last weekend.

    Thank you for your support

  • Just send a question to the support site that I can NOT connect on my email account after auto update of 38.3.0, cannot connect to my account to check the issue!

    I just posted a question on the last update automatic 38.3.0 it is possible to log into different e-mail accounts in a profile, only the first e-mail account. My support mozilla account is linked to one of the email accounts that I can NOT connect to. Can't connect to this email account to check the issue. Your last 38.3.0 Thunderbird is useless because it is no longer possible to log in different e-mail accounts in a profile, and your support solution is useless because you need to connect to the e-mail account to check the issue.
    How to proceed?

    You can change your email associated with your media profile.
    I have 38.3.0 and I can access all my email accounts I suggest you try the initial tests:

    Start T-bird with disabled modules.
    If it works on your module is to blame and you need to activate one by one.

    Start your operating system in safe mode with active network.
    If it works probably your antivirus is blocking or delaying. (Or driver).

    I recently bought a computer with Windows XP preinstalled Mac Professional and running Office remote version 2.1.0.

The most frustrating is that I also have an Air of Mac Book that has remote desktop version 2.0.1 which is able to connect.

    ADF

    ADF, I received today a similar appeal.  When I questioned his information on the company, he was very defensive and said "I have no cold calling, I'm in East London" I asked him to give me the name of the software MS causing errors, during which he compiled a long list of file extensions and avoided the question.  When I asked her name and phone number so I can get my husband to call him back, he began to read a number on phone, but the figures '0-1', the line was cut off.

    I'm sure you made the right choice in putting an end to the conversation of what I lived today.  I have no idea how you would report to Microsoft, but wanted a response to you here to support your actions!

  • I get an error "unable to load XPCOM. I know that I can reinstall Firefox but how to save my favorites?

    I get an error "unable to load XPCOM. I know that I can reinstall Firefox, but when I went to do that he erased all my favorites that I did a system restore. How to backup my bookmarks?

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

    If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

    • Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but do NOT delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.

    If you keep problems also create a new profile.

  • I have an ASUS M4A88TD-M/USB3 motherboard. The problem is that I can't find any windows 8 compatible LAN drivers for it.

    Problems of Windows 8 pilots.

    I just installed Windows 8 preview of developer on a virtual machine, I have an ASUS M4A88TD-M/USB3 motherboard. The problem is that I can't find any windows 8 compatible LAN drivers for it. All solutions?

    Given that Windows 8 has not been released yet not all drivers will work with him. Some drivers are very precise on the version of operating system, you may need to wait until they release the pilots of Windows 8 (if they make it to your model).

    If the drivers do not install, try their installation in compatibility mode.

    Troubleshoot Compatibility

    This can help with some (but not all the) programs/drivers:
    (1) uninstall the program, if it is already installed. Then when install you / reinstall instead of double click on the Setup file, right click and select 'resolve compatibility issues.
    (2) then click on 'Try recommended settings' and in the next window, click on "Start the Program" to install it.
    (3) after he set up see if it works properly. Note: some programs are perhaps not able to run in Windows 8.

    Liston Hi,

    Steps to follow:

    1. Try to make a new complete site structure in MUSE and try to add a few pages and tries to remove it, just to check its not having not problem
    2. If the problem persists even, check if your site is stored on the external hard drive. Note: site should be registered on internal hard drives.
    3. Try to revive the MUSE, if the problem remains the same, we will refresh the preferences of MUSE.

    Hope it will work.
