Good evening,
Situation: I had a running old freenas box w/o IPMI capability. I now migrated freenas to my Gen8 Microserver. I have successfully imported my volume and and created another striped volume from two SSDs for ISCSI. I purposely didn't backup my configuration because I wanted a fresh start without any garbage configuration.
I have set up a cisco switch with several VLANs.
Freenas is in vlan 30 and reachable
ESXi Hosts are trunked. ESXi host can ping freenas.
The wizard is useless if the folder that is to be shared exists already (at least it seems that way).
Problem 1: NFS
Manually set up NFS Share.
Service:
# of Servers 4,
Bind IP to first interface (there are two available on the same subnet)
Enable NFSv4 (ESXi 6 uses NFSv4 I believe)
Share:
Path: /mnt/vol1/Files (This folder has been imported from the old NAS and contains lots of ISOs.)
All Directories: yes
Mapall User: nobody
Mapall Group: nobody
vmkernel.log on ESXI says "Unable to connect to NFS Server"
My MAC connects (slowly) to the same path.
I am at a loss.
showmount -e on my mac says: RPC failed:: RPC: Timed out
from finder, "Connect to Server" and then using the complete path (nfs://X.30.0.3/mnt/vol1/Files) it works.
from finder, "Connect to Server" to and then using only the server, doesn't work. It tells me that I don't have permissions.
I'll post the ISCSI problem once I can get NFS running.
Could somebody please assist me in troubleshooting this? I clearly don't have enough understanding of this to do this by myself. PS: /mnt/vol1/Files has permissions set to nobody recursive.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Let me know if you need more output.
