Hello,
I am having issues attempting to connect two ESX 4.0 servers to an NFS NAS.
Able to ping NAS from both ESX servers.
Able to /usr/sbin/vmkping from both ESX servers.
Able to connect using "mount -t NFS <ip>:<share> /mnt/tmp"
However, when attempting to connect through the vSphere Client OR by using /usr/sbin/esxcfg-nas --add NAS --host <ip> --share <share>, I receive:
"Error during the configuration of the host: NFS Error: Unable to Mount filesystem: Unable to connect to NFS server"
Security Profiles on both ESX servers are configured to allow NFS Client.
Both servers have VMKernels on the correct subnets to communicate to the NFS server.
I am able to run /usr/sbin/showmount -e <ip> on both servers. Both respond with:
<share> (everyone)
The following error appears in /var/log/vmkernel:
"Dec 29 12:46:55 <host> vmkernel: 27:23:38:35.043 cpu11:4119) WARNING: NFS: 931: MOUNT RPC failed with RPC status 13 (RPC was aborted due to timeout) tryinig to mount Server (<ip>) Path (<share>)"
I'm at a standstill right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
