I am trying to mount NFS datastore on vSphare 4.0 from my netapp sim 7.3 version and I am getting following error message while mounting under vmkernel

You can try turning on the option nfs.mountd.trace and watch the console as you try to mount it and see if anything shows up.

This might give you a clue.

In nutshell : vmkernel IP should be in subnet thats of NFS server.

Thanks,
