Hi,
I'm trying to add NFS storage to a fresh install of 5.5. The NFS server and the VM server are both on the same subnet and can happily ping each other. There is only one Vswitch created, and only one VMKernel.
I can watch network traffic leaving the VM server via tcpdump and see an ARP request going out for the NFS server, and the response coming back. The VM server then attempts to connect to the portmapper service on the NFS server, but no traffic ever reaches the NFS server.
I have dropped the firewall on the VM server and can perform a connection test (nc -z nfsserver 2049) and get a success message. I have also tried using a dedicated NIC and subnet for NFS traffic, but get the same results.
For what it is worth, the NFS exports can be successfully mounted by a third, non-ESXi-host, running Linux.
Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?
