Hello,
i want to use a folder as an image library for my esx enviroment.
So i added a disk to freenas, created a volume on it and created a folder on that volume:
/mnt/Volum1/images
Created the NFS share and try to add it to esx. Which wont work (btw my current windows nfs share works fine on the esx servers)
The problem: these are the things that vmware needS:
Ensure the NFS server supports NFSv3 over TCP. ESX/ESXi does not use UDP for NFS.
The NFS server must be accessible in read-write mode by all ESX/ESXi hosts.
The NFS server must allow read-write access for the root system account (rw).
The NFS export must be set for either no_root_squash or chmod 1777.
Ensure the ESX/ESXi VMkernel IP is allowed to mount the NFS share by inspecting the export list.
Ensure the mount is exported by running exportfs -a to re-export all NFS shares.
Check the following to ensure that the ESX/ESXi host is correctly configured to use an NFS share:
Where can i set the no_root_squash setting?
Thanks!
