Hi,
I'm having trouble presenting an NFS volume to ESX 4.1 as a datastore.
I can mount the NFS volume on the host direct from the command line.
I was not able to do it on the command line for a while, then I realized the firewall setting was there.
Once I modified the firewall setting, I could mount on the host directly.
But when I try from the client - configuration -> datastore -> add datastore I get
Call "HostDatastoreSystem.CreateNasDatastore" for object "ha-datastoresystem" on ESX "10.23.43.54" failed.
I also tried stopping and starting the nfs and portmap services.
Thanks!
Jay
Hi Jay,
From the command line, are you using "mount" or "esxcfg-nas"? Try using the second one, and have a look at the vmkernel log (/var/log/vmkernel).

Thanks. That info - where exactly to look - helped me figure it out. I didn't have vmkernel enabled - ugh. Everything is good now.
Guys, I have the Cisco NSS322 NAS that is on VMware approved HW list for ESX 4.1 I am trying to do the same thing with no luck.
Previously I forgot to make a VMKernel interface, now I have that one as well. My service console and VMkernel are on same VLAN
service console 10.1.1.76 and VMkernel 10.1.1.81. I am getting this error:
Error:An error occurred during host configuration.
See the error stack for details on the cause of this problem.
