I'm trying to use a new install of OpenSUSE 12.2 to provide an NFS share to an vmware esxi host but am having problems getting the share working. I was hoping the suse community might be able to help me out.
Requirement: NFS v3 share over TCP to a number of esxi Hosts mounted with root access & read write permissions.
What I've done so far - Installed OpenSUSE 12.2 from DVD and chose LVM, SAMBA (to join to a Windows Domain) & KDE during install. and configured networking
- Installed any updates that were needed.
- Used Yast to install NFS Server & Client and followed openSUSE 12.2: Chapter 18. Sharing File Systems with NFS to setup a share /ShareNFS/Share1 and export it using yast gui
Problem When I try to connect from the esx host it says the mount has been denied by the server but from my (very basic) experience it looks like I have everything setup but I've obviously missed something.
What I've tried - Disabling the Firewall
- Using the IP address, FQDN, hostname as the server address when trying to connect
- Mounting the Share onto a Windows Computer but that also failed.
- I can ping from windows in same network to OpenSUSE and vis versa
- I can ping from OpenSUSE to both esxi hosts
- ESXi hosts previously mounted a NFS Share from windows successfully (performance was terrible so decided to use OpenSUSE) on same hardware and same network connection
My Settings: (didn't restrict by IP address until I can get connection working) /etc/exports
/ShareNFS/Share1 *(rw,no_root_squash,sync)
