Ok working on a client site
They have set the following
ESXi Mmgt on 10.190.10.#/24
NFS to be 10.190.11.#/24
NFS filer is 10.191.2.###
So i have created
vswitch0 with Mgmt vmk0 port
vswitch1 with NFS vmk1 port
When we first tried to connect to the NFS storage
2013-04-18T18:50:26.596Z cpu6:9140)NFS: 190: NFS mount 10.191.1.##:/vol/######## failed: The mount request was denied by the NFS server. Check that the export exists and that the client is permitted to mount it.
This was becuase i guess it was defaulting to vmk0
So I created a static route on the esxi host
Network Netmask Gateway Interface
10.191.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.190.11.1 vmk1
Now when I try to mount I get the following;
#esxcfg-nas -a vcenter -o 10.191.1.## -s /vol/########
Connecting to NAS volume: vcenter
Unable to connect to NAS volume vcenter: Sysinfo error on operation returned status : Unable to query remote mount point's attributes. Please see the VMkernel log for detailed error information
I can vmkping the filer using vmkping -I Vmk1 10.191.1.##
Vmkernel log gives no extra clues. Storage team say is well on NetApp filer
anyone have a clue?
