shared storage with NFS

[parakrama55]

Hi...

We have 2 EXSI 5.0 hosts whth cluser HA enable(server1 , and server2) . and we need to add the NFS as a shard storage.

How do i add this NFS location as common storage .

because when i try to add NFS as ->

select Exsi server1  host ->Go to configuration -> click storage and then add NFS by selecting NAS.  (Gave storage name as "CommonNFS")  

but this process only add NFS to server1  host ,

then i followed same process to my server2 EXSI host ,

then it asked to changed the  "CommonNFS" name because its already exsists .....

How do we  add this  NFS as a Common Storage Location.....

Thank You

It might do that if the NFS export path is not specified identical on both hosts.... /vol/new_datastore is not identical to /vol/new_datastore/

hmm no. i specified the same in both hosts , which is  /mnt/iscsi

Ok.. Just wanted to make sure that this wasn't the issue..

How do you mount them....? By NAS IP address or NAS name? This of course needs to be 100% identical to...
