Dear All,


I have deployed the latest CEPH Pacific release in my lab and started to check 
out the new ?stable? NFS Ganesha features. First of all I'm a bit confused 
which method to actually use to deploy the NFS cluster:



cephadm or ceph nfs cluster create?



I used "nfs cluster create" for now and noticed a minor problem in the docs.


https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/cephfs/fs-nfs-exports/#cephfs-nfs


The command is stated as:

$ ceph nfs cluster create <clusterid> [<placement>] [--ingress --virtual-ip 
<ip>]

while as it needs a type (cephfs) to be specified

nfs cluster create <type> <clusterid> [<placement>] :  Create an NFS Cluster

Also I can't manage to use the --ingress --virtual-ip parameter. Every time I 
try to use it I get this:

[root@cephboot~]# ceph nfs cluster create cephfs 
ec9e031a-cd10-11eb-a3c3-005056b7db1f --ingress --virtual-ip 192.168.9.199
Invalid command: Unexpected argument '--ingress'
nfs cluster create <type> <clusterid> [<placement>] :  Create an NFS Cluster
Error EINVAL: invalid command

So i just deployed a NFS cluster without a VIP. Maybe I'm missing something?

What about this note in the docs:

From Pacific, the nfs mgr module must be enabled prior to use. <<

I can't find any info on how to enable it. Maybe this is already the case?

ceph nfs cluster create cephfs ec9e031a-cd10-11eb-a3c3-005056b7db1f "cephnode01"
This seems to be working fine. I managed to connect a CentOS 7 VM and I can 
access the NFS export just fine. Great stuff.



For testing I tried to attach the same NFS export to a standalone ESXi 6.5 
Server. This also works, but its diskspace is shown as 0 bytes:





I'm not sure if this supported or I'm missing something. I could not find any 
clear info in the docs only some reddit posts where users mentioned that they 
were able to use it with VMware.



Thanks and Best Regards,

Oliver
