Hi all, Can someone give me an overview of how the NFS storage works? Like what servers should have an NFS share mounted once a zone is enabled?
I’m using NFS for my secondary storage. During deployment I mount the nfs share as /mnt/secondary and seed the template to the secondary storage. This works fine, If I log onto my NFS server, I can see the ‘template’ folder appears and contains the template. All is good at this point. The installation guide goes on to say… “If you are using a separate NFS server, perform this step. If you are using the Management Server as the NFS server, you MUST NOT perform this step. When the script has finished, unmount secondary storage and remove the created directory. # umount /mnt/secondary # rmdir /mnt/secondary” As I am indeed using a separate NFS server, I go ahead and unmount the NFS share and remove the mount point from the management server. When I create my zone through the UI, I add the NFS share details in to the secondary storage bit and it accepts it and adds the secondary storage, but once my zone is enabled, the system VMs do not come up and I cannot see the NFS share mounted on either of my hosts nor on the management server. I kind of assumed that the management-server would mount this NFS share on the appropriate hosts and anywhere else it is required once the zone is enabled, but this doesn’t seem to happen. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks John ________________________________ This is an e-mail from Databax Ltd (Company No.04085248). The contents of this e-mail are confidential.
