It is tempting easy to create new SVM in Clustered Data Ontap, hence I am quickly trying to test datastores for vSphere 5.5 under cDOT 8.3RC1.
This is what I got so far:
a SVM "bgs_nfs_vmw2" created by the wizard of the built-in System Manager
a volume "bgs_nfs_vmw2_ds1_snp3" created by the wizard "Provision Storage for VMware"
an export-policy, created by the wizard
and a LIF
The NFS is enabled and running:
bgsstg2::vserver nfs> show
Vserver: bgs_nfs_vmw2
General Access: true
v3: enabled
v4.0: enabled
4.1: disabled
UDP: enabled
TCP: enabled
Default Windows User: -
Default Windows Group: -
bgsstg2::> vserver nfs status
The NFS server is running on Vserver "bgs_nfs_vmw2".
The network is there:
bgsstg2: network interface show
bgs_nfs_vmw2
bgs_nfs_vmw2_v053_n1
up/up 10.0.53.61/24 bgsstg2-n1 e0c-53 true
The export-policy matches to the ESXi-host 10.0.53.23 and is attached to the volume "bgs_nfs_vmw2_ds1_snp3":
bgsstg2::vserver export-policy> rule show
bgs_nfs_vmw2 bgs_nfs_vmw2_ds1_snp3_policy 1 nfs 10.0.53.23 sys
Now on the ESXi:
~ # ping 10.0.53.61 (the SVM)
PING
10.0.53.61 (10.0.53.61😞 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 10.0.53.61: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.252 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.53.61: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.218 ms
I'm also able to netcat:
~ # nc
10.0.53.61 111 < /dev/null; echo $?
0 -> meaning: service answer on port 111
but still:
~ # esxcfg-nas -a -o 10.0.53.61 -s /bgs_nfs_vmw2_ds1_snp3 bgs_nfs_vmw2_ds1_snp3
returns: unable to connect to NFS server
Seems a part of the puzzle is missing - but which? Any ideas?
thx
