NFS mount options
I just bought a Qnap NAS box that I want to share with 2 VM hosts. I did a little research on NFS vs iSCSI and it seems that NFS has some pretty good advantage over iSCSI. Especially when she is on a network to shared resources.
The hosts are the two Centos 5.3.
I wonder what would be the optimum settings (options) for the NFS mount? I found a couple of some old site, but I wonder what people here use? Here's a setting string that I found:
nfsvers = 3, tcp, timeo = 600, TRANS = 2, rsize = 32768, wsize = 32768, hard, intr, noatime
I'm heading to the coast to look at the man page for NFS now to see what these all mean...
Thank you
Phil
Here's a good explanation of this thing:
The nolock option prevents the sharing of file locking
information between the NFS server and the NFS client. The server is
unaware of the file locks on this client and vice versa.
Using
the nolock option is required if the NFS server has its NFS file lock
the feature in a State broken or remained dead letter, but she works between
all versions of NFS.
If another host is accessing the same files that
your app on this host, there may be problems if file locking
information sharing is disabled.
Failure to maintain good
blocking a write operation to the same host with a read operation on
another may cause the reader to have incomplete or inconsistent data
(reads a structure of data/record/line that is written only in part).
A
locking failure between two writers is likely to have data
loss/corruption, such as the later writing replaces the previous one. The
changes made by the previous write operation may be lost.

Hi all
I've updated to Win 7 Enterprise for NFS support.
I was able to map two NFS shares successfully.
However, upon restart, the actions are lost. Is it possible (I don't see one in the snap-snap-in mmc NFS) to indicate that they be reconnected at logon. I could use a login script in local GPO to do this, but I was wondering if there was a "better way" (tm).
A tip for those who struggle with the NFS client: use showmount to see if Windows can even see the actions. I had to set the firewall issues, then showmount showed stocks and I was able to login and navigate through the:
Server EI C:\Users\owner>showmount
Export the server list:
/nfs4exports 192.168.x.0/24
RAID 192.168.x.0/24/nfs4exports.
mythstorage 192.168.x.0/24/nfs4exports.C:\Users\owner>mount server: / nfs4exports/z: raid
z: is now connected to the server: / nfs4exports/raidThe command completed successfully.

Found the answer on the technet site (it's sort of, a persistent systemic mount is not possible, but using a user login script is possible.)
Basically NFS connections are stored on a basis by user.
"NFS mounted drive letters are specific session so running this in a script to start most likely will not work." The service would probably need to mount its own drive letters from a script that runs in the context of service. We have specific guidelines, that it is not recommended to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/180362. "

.Snapshot in the error message file is a NFS function because it mounts are actually NFS volumes.
Are the T2P scripts supported on NFS mounts? If so, how to solve this problem? Would appreciate your comments on how we can solve this problem
Concerning
Shiva
The issue was due to wrong settings for the frames. This has been fixed by the storage team. T2P scripts were always initially and after that correction of the Storage mounts, they ran successfully. A restoration was necessary, and RCU patterns had to be recreated on the clone

ESXi 4.1 - blades HP and NFS mounts
Hello
I'm having a strange problem with NFS access
We currently use HP Blades BL680c G5 servers, in C7000 enclosures. Configuration of the switch, Cisco (3120 x) are the same for all ports / ESXs.
I use VMNIC0 and VMNIC1 in etherchannel / Hash IP access to the warehouses of data NFS on NetApp filers.
I have now two servers beside I want to reverse for test reasons. These two servers are moving instead of the other.
Once restarted, these two hosts ar sees no no more data warehouses. They appear as inactive. I can't reconnect them (VI client or esxcfg-nas - r)
vmkping for Netapp file servers works more also.
As soon as I put these 2 servers to their original square, everything is back to normal.
On the side of the cisco switch ports are still configured the same. None of them are closed.
There I'm missing something, but don't know where to look.
Thanks in advance
Hi Hernandez,
If you're repatching hosts or they always use the same network cables as before (perhaps a change of IP address, or a rule on the host of the NFS export)
don't forget, you'll have policies created on the NFS mounts 'export' these fixtures for the names of specific hosts or IPs - if you're repatching and change IP etc you can cause this export invalidation,

I have two questions about how the NFS mount points is in fact from the point of view NFS servers.
If the mount point of the 'outside' is considered as for example / ISO, would this mean
1. that the directory is named "iso" or could it be a real name on the local file system on the NAS Server? (As in the names of SMB share, could be different from the name of folder.)
2. that the folder is actually located directly on the root of the local file system, which is/ISO on the server, or would it be for example/dir1/dir2/iso and always to the outside as appearance / ISO? (As in the SMB, where 'share' creates a new root somewhere on the filesystem that is exposed to the outside.)

Thank you! It would be a typical NFS-Unix/Linux server?
Yes.
So perhaps it is not defined in the standard how this should be done, but can vary between implementations? (* nix of course most common.)
Possible, but does MS ever meet standards? Even their own?
RFC1094/NFS:
"Different operating systems may have restrictions on the depth of the tree or used names, but also using a syntax different tor represent the"path", which is the concatenation of all the"components"(file and directory names) in the name...". Some operating systems provide a 'mount' operation to make all file systems appear as a single tree, while others maintain a 'forest' of file systems... NFS looking for a component of a path at the same time. It may not be obvious why he did not only take the name of way together, stroll in the directories and return a file handle when it is carried out. There are many good reasons not to do so. First, paths need separators between items in the directory, and different operating systems use different separators. We could define a representation of network Standard access path, but then each path must be analyzed and converted at each end. "

maximum size of the NFS mounts
Hello
I would like to know what is the maximum size for mounting NFS into ESX (i) 4? If I need more than 2 TB, I need to use extensions iSCSI volumes. Is it the same thing with NFS or I can come up and use for example a 4 TB NFS share?
Thank you
Marcus
NFS mounts have No. limit. It is also great that you need to make. ESX can mount NFS, that's all. The ONLY limitation for ESX is VMFS, because ESX creates / manages VMFS volumes. NFS mounts are managed by OTHER systems, they have their own limits.
NFS is just a huge disk hard as far as ESX is concerned.

How to start vmware after NFS mounts
OK, so now I have solved the mystery of editing. I'm looking for the gurus of linux on how to change the sequence of boot for mounts NFS are made prior to the VMware service.
I use Centos 5.3 on the host.
Phil
Hello
You must configure vmware to start after nfs and network.
A simple example makes it easier to understand:
LS /etc/rc3.d/S*network
/etc/rc3.d/S10network
LS /etc/rc3.d/S*nfs
/etc/rc3.d/S11nfs
LS /etc/rc3.d/S*vmware
/etc/rc3.d/S05vmware
In this case, it may be like this:
RM /etc/rc3.d/S05vmware
ln-s /etc/init.d/vmware /etc/rc3.d/S20vmware
Today, vmware always will begin after the nfs mounts.
A saludo/best regards,.

Try adding that another NFS mount to a 3.5 server. I have an existing one on a Windows 2003 server that fits very well. The error I get when creating is:

Any ideas? It is also a 2003 server, but different from the box.

All mounting options "link invalid brother" and a player that will not go up?
I'm doing some repairs on a MBPro (machine girl) who was running El Capitan (10.11). I started upward in OS X Recovery mode, but disk utility fails because the drive does not appear. I also tried the Warrior Disk and got a similar error (2351, 5:4112 is the DW code gave me). In THE DISC is "grayed out", which I suppose means it is not mounted.
All the options for data recovery on the drive that will not go up? There is no return from this machine. I am computer scientist of family and I can't tell you how many times I say "run a backup" or "did you make a backup? I should probably start taking laptops and my family do.
I booted in single user Mode and run ' fsck - fy ' but I don't get "the Macintosh HD volume cannot be repaired." and above that the outlet says: "the brother link invalid.
All of the suggestions. I'll send my daughter in the Genius Bar with her laptop and see if they have all the options before you go ahead and delete it.
See you soon,.

Unalterable audit NFS mounted data warehouses
Hi all
I searched for a cmdlet or function that returns if an NFS volume is mounted read/write or read only on a node. The use case for this looping through a vCenter to ensure volumes that need to be mounted read-only were not accidentally mounted read/write during a reconstruction of node. I haven't found something that returns this value.
Is there something available in PowerCLI who will provide this information?
Thank you
Jason
Try something like this
foreach($ds in (Get-Datastore | where {$_.Type -eq "NFS"})){ $ds.ExtensionData.Host | Select @{N="DS";E={$ds.Name}}, @{N="RemoteHost";E={$ds.RemoteHost}}, @{N="RemotePath";E={$ds.RemotePath}}, @{N="ESXi";E={Get-view $_.Key -Property Name | Select -ExpandProperty Name}}, @{N="AccessMode";E={$_.MountInfo.AccessMode}}}

Windows Server 2008 R2 NFS mounted data store is read only
I've done this dozens of times in the past, but not with this exact combination successfully:
ESX4 U1
Windows 2008 R2 Server Datacenter edition
NFS Server installed. TCP Version 3.
The normal configuration that worked in the past:
NTFS security - total control on ANONYMOUS logon, everyone control total
The local policies, network access: Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users (applied automatically by Windows)
NFS Sharing - ANSI encoding, allow anonymous access - UID = - 2, GID = - 2
NFS share permissions - allow all THE MACHINES read-write, ROOT access
The data store adds OK and appears in the list of data on vClient stores and can be viewed or directly via a Console logon.
The problem is that the data store is read only! Nothing from ESX can write, delete, or update a folder or a file on the data store. Access Windows NTFS is very well.
This means also you cannot boot from say a CD ISO on the data store, or create a VMDK guest virtual computer on the data store.
Given that I had zero problems with this in the past, when with the help of ESX3 or ESX4 connect to Windows Server 2003R2 or several NAS with NFS devices supported I think Windows 2008R2?
Has anyone seen anything like this before?
I use it currently; It works fine, but it's the way that you configure the windows nfs export without having to use a mapping service (see images)
Also, be aware that Windows System Cache is a bit less efficient than linux (but that's ok) you just need to add additional RAM at least 16 GB for the data store busy.
I also recommend refining delays in setting up nfs for each virtual machine host:
NFS. HeartbeatFrequency = 10
NFS. HeartbeatFailures = 5
And on windows change the properties of the NFS server in the locking tab
customer collection lock wait 5

Storage of P2V of NFS mounted in a virtual machine
Hello
I'm looking for the best method to achieve the following objectives:
We currently have a Server 2008 R2 Virtual Machine with its operating system disk in the virtual environment (vSphere 5, ESXi 5 Update1). In this machine are two additional disks provided by our EMC SAN using Microsoft iSCSI Initiator in the virtual machine. This our main file server.
We would like to take advantage of the software virtual backup we use (Veeam 6.1) so would to move these disks in the virtual environment as VMDK.
I know that potentially we could create two new VMDK and synchronize the data across, but is there a way to clone those to preserve all the permissions, etc.
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thank you
DanIt appears so, but I do not use Veeam Backup and replication, so I can't tell you for sure.
