Re: Can't use NFS with VMware ESXi

Actually, even on another Linux machine mounting NFS has the same behaviour. I am able to mount it with “mount –t nfs …” but when I try “ls” it hangs as well.

One particular thing of the Gluster servers is that they have two networks, one for management with default gateway and another only for storage. I am only able to mount on the storage network.

The hosts file has all nodes’ names with the ips on the storage network.

 

I tried to use this but didn’t work either.

gluster volume set VOLUME nfs.rpc-auth-allow 10.10.100.*

 

Watching the nfs logs when I try a “ls” from the remote client it shows:

Subject: Can't use NFS with VMware ESXi

 

Hi,

 

I’ve setup a Gluster environment using CentOS 6.2 and GlusterFS 3.3 beta4 and the new type of volume striped + replicated. My go is to use it to run Virtual Machines (.vmdk files).

 

Volume is created fine and the ESXi server mountw the Datastore using Gluster  built-in NFS, however  when trying to use the Datastore or even read, it hangs.

 

Looking at the Gluster NFS logs I see:    “[socket.c:195:__socket_rwv] 0-socket.nfs-server: readv failed (Connection reset by peer)”

 

In order to get the rpm files installed I had first to install these two because of the some libraries: “compat-readline5-5.2-17.1.el6.x86_64”.rpm and “openssl098e-0.9.8e-17.el6.centos.x86_64.rpm”.Not sure if it has anything to do with that.

 

Has anyone ever used Gluster as a backend storage for ESXi ? Does it actually work ?

 

Regards,
