Ok, I got a bit further. I can now mount the NFS export on my ESXi
server and use it as a datastore. I added the ESXi host with RW and
no_root_squash permissions in the Ceph Dashboard. After re-mounting it
on the ESXi datastore it works fine. Any idea about the ingress?

Dear All,
I have deployed the latest CEPH Pacific release in my lab and started
to check out the new ?stable? NFS Ganesha features. First of all I'm a
bit confused which method to actually use to deploy the NFS cluster:
cephadm or ceph nfs cluster create?
I used "nfs cluster create" for now and noticed a minor problem in the
docs.
https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/cephfs/fs-nfs-exports/#cephfs-nfs
The command is stated as:
$ ceph nfs cluster create <clusterid> [<placement>] [--ingress
--virtual-ip <ip>]
while as it needs a type (cephfs) to be specified
nfs cluster create <type> <clusterid> [<placement>] : Create an NFS
Cluster
Also I can't manage to use the --ingress --virtual-ip parameter. Every
time I try to use it I get this:
[root@cephboot~]# ceph nfs cluster create cephfs
ec9e031a-cd10-11eb-a3c3-005056b7db1f --ingress --virtual-ip 192.168.9.199
Invalid command: Unexpected argument '--ingress'
nfs cluster create <type> <clusterid> [<placement>] : Create an NFS
Cluster
Error EINVAL: invalid command
So i just deployed a NFS cluster without a VIP. Maybe I'm missing
something?
What about this note in the docs:
From Pacific, the nfs mgr module must be enabled prior to use. <<
I can't find any info on how to enable it. Maybe this is already the
case?
ceph nfs cluster create cephfs ec9e031a-cd10-11eb-a3c3-005056b7db1f
"cephnode01"
This seems to be working fine. I managed to connect a CentOS 7 VM and
I can access the NFS export just fine. Great stuff.
For testing I tried to attach the same NFS export to a standalone ESXi
6.5 Server. This also works, but its diskspace is shown as 0 bytes:
I'm not sure if this supported or I'm missing something. I could not
find any clear info in the docs only some reddit posts where users
mentioned that they were able to use it with VMware.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Oliver
