Datastore Issue

[prutter]

I jsut created an NFS volume on my Netapp storage and presented it to my host but i can't write anything to it. Ive done this 2 or 3 times in the past with no issues but it seems like i had a lot of problems after updating to ESXi4.1.  Vcenter can see the storage everything appears correct but i can't write to it.  looked at the rights and it appears to be teh same as the other volumes created.  I seen a couple articles online adn it talks about going to teh Configuration, Security Profile, but the option they were looking for doesn't show up in 4.1.  Here is the message i receive. This is just when i tried to clone a machine to that datastore.  Same thing happens when i upload a file.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks

Hello.

Maybe asking the obvious here, but did you check the "Mount NFS Read Only" option when mounting it?

Good Luck!

I don't think so.  I doubt if i would have done that for all 3 hosts but I'm going to check.

I removed it and re-added it to virtual center and still have teh same issue.

Please take a look at the troubleshooting section starting at page 11 in http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/VMware_NFS_BestPractices_WP_EN.pdf

The most common issue is the missing "no_root_sqash" option.

those commands don't work and i'm guessing since it's ESXi 4.1.   Some of those articles i looked at talked about permissions but that option was not available under Config, Software, Sec Profile

Page 11 shows the settings, which have to be configured on the storage side.

i think that was the issue.  There were no root permissions.  i'm going to start from scratch and see what happens. i tried to edit the file and that didn't work.  I am going to destroy and recereate the volume again.

Started from scratch and still in the same place.  Modified the export file on the filer and still have the same errors when i try to access it.
