Re: Cloudstack NFS server installation issue

[Vivek Kumar]

Hello Bunmi,

That option is required when you install NFS on the management server, it’s 
clearly mentioned on the doc that - "using the management server as the nfs 
server". If you have separate node for NFS you can simply go - 

1- create two directories that you will use for primary and secondary storage. 
For example

# mkdir -p /export/primary
# mkdir -p /export/secondary

2- To configure the new directories as NFS exports, edit /etc/exports. Export 
the NFS share(s) with rw,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check. For example:

# vi /etc/exports

Insert the following line.
/export  *(rw,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)

3- Export the /export directory.
exportfs -a

4- Restart your NFS server and do a test mount from your hypvervisor or from 
any other node

# mount -t nfs :/ /

Cloudstack NFS server installation issue

[Bunmi Adeleye]

Dear Team,

 

I'm new to cloudstack and trying to implement a POC. I have been able to
install cloudstack management server on Ubuntu VM. Currently I'm installing
NFS server on a separate node (Ubuntu OS) using the step by step guide
cloudstack documentation. Everything was fine until I got to step 5. I could
not locate /etc/sysconfig/nfs. My question is doI have to create the
directory 'sysconfig' and file 'nfs' afresh or how do I locate the path
specified in step 5. Kindly see below for reference.

r/index.html#using-the-management-server-as-the-nfs-server 

 



 

Please your advice is highly appreciated
