unable to NFS file system

[virtuon]

Hi All ,

i am facing a really weired problem , i am using ESX 3.5 server and i am trying to mount NAS file system on it . I have tried almost all possible solution 1

1. adding exception in security profile via VI

2. adding exception in Firewall of remote machine

3. Mapping group and passwd files with admins

4. i tried vmkping also it works infact if i will try it it shows

# esxcfg-nas -l

# esxcfg-nas -a -o 192.168.0.13 -s Test test

Connecting to NAS volume: test

test created and connected.

# esxcfg-nas -l

Error performing operation: Cannot open volume: /vmfs/volumes/8e3eaa08-9a4c1a26

# esxcfg-nas -l

test is Test from 192.168.0.13 mounted

But whenever i try to create NFS data store it fails showing message Error during configuration of host : cannot open volume /vmfs/XXx . also it does not show mounted in VI .

I have tried both but not much help and other solution .

1. find our nfs if running(if it is a linux machine), check nfs service, /etc/export, and try to mount it from another regular linux system

2. when you add it in VI Client, try use ip instead of name, and your mount point, ex: nfshost(ip):/data/mount

Hope this help

Now it is showing this error

Unable to create New NAS volume, 192.168.0.13:Test is already exported by a volume with the name test

but in VI configuration > storage NAS is not appearing

Also

# esxcfg-nas -l

test is Test from 192.168.0.13 mounted

it shows it is mounted
