Hi Team,
We have a server which is configured behind the NAT and with specific port 1234. Which we are trying to add as a NFS datastore on the ESXi version 5.5 which is continuously failing.
Below are the steps whcih we followed from vSphere client to configure the NAT server with port as NFS datatstore :
On the NAT Server (whcih we are planning to configure as NFS store):
1) Added the entry in the /etc/exports like below:
/dummyl <ESXi_Ip>(ro,all_squash)
On the ESXi :
1)
2) Entered NAT IP with the port number
3) An unresolved hostname error has come
where as per #2 step above, looks like the ip and port is not been able to differentiated.
If we do not enter the port number in the #2 step it is throwing an error saying "could not get connect to the NFS server" (whcih seems like the EXi is not able to connect to the server whcih is behind the NAT as port is not been mentioned)
Can you please let us know on how a NAT server with port can be added as NFS datastore on the ESXi?
Regards,
Anjana
