Hello,
I am doing some testing with ESXi 6.7 / vSphere vCenter Server and I have a linux vm on my ESXi host that presents 2 nfs shares. I can mount the nfs shares as volumes in ESXi / vCenter Server, but they do not survive a reboot. The mounts appear in the Storage list, but they do not ever reconnect. I can delete and re-create the storage without issue. I think this is a timing / configuration issue where ESXi boots up, can't find the NFS shares because the linux vm has not had time to start up (it is first in the list to start when ESXi comes up). I've tried changing some of the NFS service settings in ESXi to increase the number of times it tries to restore the mounts, but nothing seems to work.
Is there a way to do this with just one ESXi host? I need to share data between virtual integrated containers and the only way to do that is to use NFS.
Thankyou
