Hi Hergtp, I am also trying to use GPFS volume as NFS datastore for the DRS-Cluster. Actually I am able to mount the volume as NFSv3 and even st-vmotion powered-off VMs, but a PowerON of VM fails with "Module 'MonitorLoop' error" I see in the vmkernel.log : WARNING: Swap: 3683: Failed to create swap file '/Win003-NFS-Test/./Win003-NFS-Test-bd2f6853.vswp.35208' : Not found Aslo the /var/log/vmkernel.log is full of "VmkAccess: 178: ipAddr = 0.0.0.0" messages since NFS volume is mounted. Questions: 1) was you able to solve your problem? 2) Are you still using GPFS as a shared storage for ESXi? 3) If yes, what is the statement from VMware reg. supportability. I saw it HCL, but not 100% sure: https://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/detail.php?deviceCategory=san&productid=39658&releases_filter=369,408,367,338,276,275,274,273,272,271,172,243&deviceCategory=san&details=1&keyword=IBM Elastic&arrayTypes=3&isSVA=0&page=1&display_interval=10&sortColumn=Partner&sortOrder=Asc IBM IBM Elastic Storage Server NAS ESXi 6.7 Could you please share your expirience in this topic? Thx a lot! Regards, JK
