Hi
I'm trying to add few ESXi hosts to ONE.
Is it a different approach when using NFS shared storage and not VMware
VMFS?
Documentation I find on web-site suggests using VWware VMFS, but I'm not
sure if the same procedure applies in case of NFS storage...

Hi,
Indeed, the process is exactly the same, what changes is the method
you use to mount the datastore in the ESX host, but for OpenNebula is
completely transparent (both of them will be handled with the 'vmfs'
drivers).
Any reason in particular for using NFS instead of VMFS? due to the
Tino
The reason for NFS is hardware only provides NFS exports (NetApp filer, no
iSCSI license).
I may need a little bit more help.
I've added a datastore (id 139) as Vmware VMFS, checked that both DS_MAD
and TS_MAD set to 'vmfs', also set Base Path to '/vmfs/volumes' (before
adding DS).

Hi Dmitri,
Did you add the BRIDGE_LIST parameter to the datastore template? It is
needed for the drivers to know which ESX hosts to use to register
images in the datastores. It needs an space separated list.

Thank you - it works now.
I've added BRIDGE_LIST, mounted DS on Vmware ESXi hosts.
Space monitor works OK and I'm able to create new images (vmdk disks on
the DS).
