Title: DNS-321 / NFS Server / Xenserver 5.5
Post by: kaffloc on February 09, 2010, 10:26:37 AM

Hello,

I have activated the NFS Server option on the NAS. I've created a share, but i'm unable to link my Xenserver to it... Have anyone done this ?

Thanks

Possible to provide a screenshot of your DNS-321 NFS settings?

Sure, here it is. At first I used the IP address of the NAS for the Host (192.168.1.3). Then after reading on some forums I tried to enter the Host as it shows on the pic....

Thanks for your help

Yeah your entry looks fine. 0/24 simply opens up NFS to your entire subnet so you don't have to make individual entries for multiple clients.

I have not tested Xenserver but I do know it is currently working on VMWare ESX using NFS. Have you tried another client? Perhaps turn off root squash as it may not be supported by Xenserver?

Did Some research after reading your post.

1.  You don't need root squash and it is not recommended since it can lead to security issue.
2.  When setting up your NFS Storage Repository the path is <SAN IP>:/mnt/HD_a2/XenStor
(t is confusing since you think you are setting up the name to Volume_1 but that is what is in the /etc/exports listing)

3.  In the future if you have issues with mounting NFS Volumes in Xencenter the recommended method to troubleshoot is to telnet or SSH into the SAN and then do either commend

more /etc/exports

or
cat /etc/exports

This will list NFS "Shares" on the device.  Use the path name listed there in "quotes" for the share when you stand up the Xensever storage repository.
