Hi,
We have created a NFS server using CentOS 7.3. We are able to share the NFS file system on a generic Ubuntu system but when we are trying to do the same on management of VMware Integrated OpenStack then we are facing issues, please see below. Can you please guide on this.
VIO version - 2.0.3, underlying layer consists of ESXi 6.0, vSAN, NSX, VIO is using NSX based networking.
When I run the command to take the backup,
The /mnt/backup folder is already present, see below
Thanks
Ratnajit
could you please try with below steps if you want to use OMS as the NFS server.
mkdir -p /export/backups
chmod -R 777 /export
apt-get update
apt-get --yes install nfs-kernel-server
append /etc/exports
/export 192.168.1.0/24(rw,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check,async) <== use your ip range
/export/backups 192.168.1.0/24(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async) <== use your ip range
append /etc/hosts.deny
rpcbind mountd nfsd statd lockd rquotad : ALL
append /etc/hosts.allow
rpcbind mountd nfsd statd lockd rquotad : 192.168.1.0/24 <== use your ip range
service nfs-kernel-server restart
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT
iptables-save
viocli backup mgmt_server 192.168.1.77:/backups <== put in your oms ip instead

HI Steven,
Good Morning. The information that you provided is really helpful.
The goal is to use CentOS 7.3 Linux server as NFS storage for VIO backup. A shared folder was created on a NFS server and I am trying to put the backup of VIO on the shared storage.
Can you share how can we achieve this ? I had already shared some inputs.
Do I have to disable some firewall rules on the OMS? Can you recommend?
Thanks
Ratnajit
what do /var/log/messages say on both the client side and the server side? What does /etc/hosts.allow say?
Hi Ratnajit,
do you still need any help on this issue?
Cheers,
Domenico
