Hello all,
I am trying to add a content library but want to use an NFS URL as the storage backing for the content library but unable to do so. I can mount the NFS export as a datastore without any issues but when I try to add the content library using NFS URL, I get the following error:
A specified parameter was not correct:
Error creating NFS mount nfs://xxxx.xxxx.com:/ContentLibrary for library f39eb00d-4b18-474e-95aa-1f72c6d63a7e.
Reason: mount.nfs: trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx prog 100003 vers 3 prot TCP port 2049; mount.nfs: trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx prog 100005 vers 3 prot UDP port 300;

I am running vCenter Server Appliance version 6.0.0.2000. I have added the vCenter IP as a client and root client on the NFS export. I have other NFS exports on same system mounted as datastores without issues. I can ping the NAS cluster from vCenter and vise-versa.
I have Googled the issue with minimal results. Seems everyone uses a datastore to create Content Libraries. Anyone had any luck adding a content library with an NFS URL? I have engaged support, but they have not been very helpful so far.
