• Adding NFS - error: unable to mount file system

  Hello

  When you try to add my NFS in VSphere (version 1), I get the following error at the end:

  *Error when configuring the host: NFS error: unable to mount filesystem: unable to connect to the NFS server*.

  To add the NFS, I did the following:

  1 created VMKernel (entered a static IP, subnet mask, default gateway address, enabled checkbox Vmotion) on the same vSwitch as Service Console

  2. click on add storage - NFS

  3. Enter the IP address of the server, a folder, I created on the NFS (/ etc/vmware) and gives him a name of random data store (TESTNFS).

  4. click on finish

  Next, I get the above error.

  Any ideas?

  N ° IP address must be the one you use for the vmkernel NFS on the ESX Server. The syntax of the file "/ etc/exports ' is:

• Permisions required for mounting NFS on ESXi host

  Hi team,

  In our java application uses) use API VMWARE to mount the NFS datastore on the ESXi host. But to do this, we need the ESXI root permissions. Because having credentials root door reached the safety of the system, we would like to create a user with the required permissions will be sufficient to add the mounting NFS on ESXi host.

  But do not know how to see the permissions required for the Assembly of the NFS on ESXi host. Pointers would be useful.

  Thanks in advance,

  Anjana

  Hello

  Storage permissions lies in the roles of Group of data store.

  You should have a default profile role of storage in your vCenter.

• ESX 4.1.0 Unable to mount NAS

  Hey all,.

  I'm trying to add a NAS (Ubuntu Samba server) data store to my ESX machine and am having some problems.

  I am able to ping on the NAS server using vmkping, I have the NFS Client added under the security-> Firewall profile, and I can ping the ip vmkernel from the Samba server.  When I try to add the server, I get the following error in my journal vmkernel:

  WARNING: FNSL 913: error 13 RPC (RPC has been abandoned due to the delay) trying to get the port for program Mount (100005) Version (3) Protocol (TCP) on the server (20.20.100.40)

  localhost vmkernel: mounting NFS 20.20.100.43:/storage failed: unable to connect to the NFS server

  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  20.20.100.40 is the IP address of the VMkernel used for the NFS connection?

• Mounting NFS host

  Well, I can mount a NFS data store by using something like the following with the rest of the script of the filling of the variables

  New-Nfs Datastore - VMHost $NEWHost - name $Sharename - way $remotePath - NfsHost $remoteHost | Out-Null

  In a script and it works without problem. However, this will work only for a simple NFS share on all servers.

  My question is this, and I expect to be pointed in the right direction if possible.

  I have several data centers, lets say Test01, Test02, and Test03. Within these centres I have physical hosts as follows, Test01esx01, Test01esx02, Test02esx01, Test02esx02 and so on.

  Within each of these data centers, I have a virtual machine that has an NFS share and named as follows, Test01NFS, Test02NFS and so on.

  For each of these data centers I want to set up the corresponding NFS share to the correct datacenter. If Test01NFS can be mounted on all servers Test01esx and then Test02NFS can be mounted on all servers Test02esx and so on. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

  To avoid possible problems with quotes and substitution, I slightly changed the script.

  This version produces the same mistakes?

  Get-Datacenter | where {$_.Name -notmatch 'nottest*'} | foreach {
      $DC = $_    $DC | Get-VMHost | %{
  
          foreach ($DC.Name in $DC)
          {
              $NewName = $DC.Name
              $Site = $NewName.substring(0,6)
  
              $SiteNFS = $Site + "NFS"
  
              Write "DataCenter: $Site"            Write "Mounting NFS $SiteNFS"            if (!(Get-DataStore $SiteNFS -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)) {
                  if((Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_PingStatus -Filter "Address='$SiteNFS'").StatusCode -eq 0){
                      New-Datastore -Nfs -VMHost $_ -Name $SiteNFS -Path /nfs -NfsHost $SiteNFS -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Out-Null                }
              }
          }
      }

• Problem mounting NFS

  Hello

  We have (or better, a customer of ours has) an ESX4 server with local disks.

  This server also had a mounted NFS datastore.

  This morning, one of the worst things that can happen in a datacenter has arrived: due to a power problem, everything has been turned off.

  When the power came back, everything started well.

  That was a problem: the NFS server probably began before the ESX, and so the NFS volume is now not seen (it is not important now)

  In the vShpere client, the data store has disappeared: I don't see not dimmed in the list of data store, it disappeared completely

  Also, if I run the command of "vdf" on the console, here's the result:

  Could not open/vmfs/volumes/xxxxxx (where xxxxx is the NFS volume)

  Someone at - it knwow hot to fix this?

  I have already tried to restart the ESX Server, because there are many virtual machines running at the moment...

  Furthermore, someone knows where are stored the vmfs mount points? I found the configuration in the the/etc/vmware/esx.conf file...

  Thank you very much.

  Marco.

  Take a look at http://vikashkumarroy.blogspot.com/2008/12/cannot-open-volume-vmfsvolumesxxxxxxx.html , p.6. There is a situation described as yours.

• Cannot mount NFS Debian to esxi 5.1 - Please help

  I've tried everything. I'm extremely frustrated on the way this beginner step...

  Idea was the installation, a debian for nfs box and use sharing nfs as a data store in esxi.

  debian installation, Setup nfs-kernel-server

  tried to get through vshpere

  I get the following message is displayed:

  Call "HostDatastoreSystem.CreateNasDatastore" of object "ha-datastoresystem" on ESXi '192.168.1.95' failed.
  192.168.1.97:/esxi has no mounting NFS: the mount request was refused by the NFS server. Verify that the export exists and that the customer is allowed to ride.

  Ive looked everywhere and found very little on this subject... I think that its pretty beginner so no one's going in depth on how to do it step by step... I think that sharing is good and the permissions are good but I don't know how to check via the coast host or client...

  any help would be appreciated... I tried a lot of online how tos with no luck.

  What is the absolute path to /esxi?

  You said above "my root" and I assumed to mean that esxi is a directory directly under /, but is that correct? Looks like maybe not.

  Hi friend

  How to mount the iso image on the ESXi Tech support console?

  I run the sub command and it failed.

  ESXi does not provide the option of mounting ISOs. You try to install the driver the driver Async package be2net / ISO. Follow the steps below

  (1) install VCLI
  (2) mount the ISO on the host where you installed vcli
  (3) use vihostupdate to install the driver

  He will ask for username and password of your host.

• I have download ESXi 3.5 VMware site, write on CD, but unable to boot from the CD, why? ESXi installation does not

  I have download ESXi 3.5 VMware site, write on CD, but unable to boot from the CD, why? ESXi installation does not occur.

  Please help on this issue.

  Since there is no integration PAM for ESXi, you cannot authenticate to ESXi itself using active directory.  -What are you talking about?  You can always have virtual machine with windows and active directory.

• No mounted NFS-vVol-store of data-> how to mount again or get rid of it?

  Hello

  I configured with vSphere 6.0 and NetApp-Sim 8.3, NetApp VSC 6.0 and NetApp VASA 6.0 a vVol environment. I created a Datastore NFS-vVol-called 'vvolnfs1 '. Then I tried to destroy the NFS-vVol-DS again via the context menu of the NetApp-VASA--.provider nter in the Web Client:

  

  Actually, it fails with an error device busy, because I had not deleted the hidden vSphere-HA-directory.

  After that, I tried to disassemble the data store with the "remove Datastore...". ' - enter - it worked, WOW! VVol-DS has disappeared from the Web Client.

  But when I tried to recreate, I discovered that vVol-DS was just hidden. I couldn't use the same name again. I have a vVol-store data not mounted and cannot get rid of it. In the esxi console, it seems, but without the ability (and I get an error with df - h):

  [root@esxi-9: ~] df h

  180556:VVOLLIB: VVolLibConvertSoapFault:1705: customer. VvolLibDoRetryCheckAndUpdateError failed with an error

  [...]

  vvol 0.0 B B B/vmfs/volumes/vvolnfs1 0% 0.0 0.0

  [...]

  [root@esxi-9: ~]

  In esxli, I can see the vVol, but marked as non-accessible:

  [root@esxi-9: ~] list of storagecontainer esxcli storage vvol

  vvolnfs1

  StorageContainer name: vvolnfs1

  UUID: vvol:35a62a5ffee3445d - b 8, 85000000989874

  Table: unavailable

  Size (MB): 0

  Free (MB): 0

  Accessible: false

  Default policy:

  [root@esxi-9: ~]

  Can I "mount" this vVol-DS again? Where can I get rid of him? Just delete the FlexVol appropriate in the NetApp-Sim?

  Any help is appreciated!

  Best regards

  Christian

  Hi all, I found the answer to my question: I had to use the 'standard' datastore procedure - add - it appeared the missing NFS vvol-DS and I could readd it. Cheers, Christian

• Mounting NFS properties

  I regularly add frames with powershell scripts, but I can't find how to remove information for checking and rebuilding purposes.  For example if I take all the warehouses of data in a variable called $dlist

  and then transfer it through get-member

  I don't get any clear relationship with what is part of the new-store command data.  Where are the nfshost and the path.  I guess that I do not understand how to dig through objects again.

  This info is accessible via the Extensiondata property.

• Cannot mount NFS via client - can however on the host.

  Hello

  I have problems with a NFS volume to ESX 4.1 as a data store.

  I can mount the NFS volume on the host directly from the command line.

  I wasn't able to do it on the command-line for awhile, then I realized that the Firewall setting was there.

  Once I change the Firewall setting, I could get directly on the host computer.

  But when I try the client - configuration-> data-> add datastore store I get

  Call "HostDatastoreSystem.CreateNasDatastore" of object "ha-datastoresystem" on ESX '10.23.43.54' failed.

  I also tried to stop and start the nfs and portmap services.

  Thank you!

  Jay

  Hi Jay,.

  From the command line, you use "move up" or "esxcfg-nas"? Try to use the other and take a look on the vmkernel log (/ var/log/vmkernel).

• Can't mount NFS share - operation failed, diagnostics report: failed to get the path console for volume

  I'm trying to mount a NFS on ESXI 6 volume, but continue to operate in the error.  Googling everything nothing helped, so I'm here. Error:

  Call "HostDatastoreSystem.CreateNasDatastore" of object "ha-datastoresystem" on ESXi '192.168.xx.xx' failed.

  Operation failed, the diagnostic report: failed to get the path of the console for the volume, the name of the sample.

  The NFS share is located on a synology nas. I checked the permissions and configuration. Everything seems correct based on the various boards and KB articles.

  Ideas?

  Thank you.

• 6.1 Notifications plugin file vROPS - hand mounting NFS vROPS device

  Hi all

  I wonder if someone could point me in the right direction please?

  We are currently set up outbound notifications plugin to create logs for all alerts using a NFS share that is mounted in the unit of vrops. We want to add a NFS share that we host a SCOM server which can then pick up each of the. Alerts LOG files we use SCOM as our main event management suite.

  We are facing challenges and fall at the first hurdle, however. We created a folder already that we then tried to use the mount standard t < servername/IPAdd > nfs: / / tmp/test nfsshare displays on the device of vROPS of collector main newspaper but it just hangs and does nothing. have you tried many different chains of command for it, but we get back the same thing...

  We tested the part from another machine and it's fine so I don't think a permissions problem.

  Anyone who has tried this successfully?

  Concerning

  Richard
