Posted on February 23, 2021 By rich No Comments on vSphere: Creating a NFS datastore on an NFS share

1. Install NFS from Add
Roles and Features:

2. Add a disk

3. Format the Disk

4. Create a folder on
the Drive

5. Right click and go
to NFS Sharing

6. Click Manage NFS
Sharing

7. Enable “Share
the Folder”

 

Create NFS Share

 

7. Set the permissions

Check the Allow root
access checkbox.

 

Setting NFS Share Permissions

 

8. Next in vCenter
right click on the ESXi Host > Storage > New Datastore:

Set datastore type

9. Select NFS – Use the
same version NFS as existing infrastructure.

 

Version 4.1 has
support for Multi-pathing, Kerberos and file locking controls.

 

10. Next specify the
folder that was created and shared (It was called NFS-Mount in this example):

NFS Share details

 11. This Share, as the
VMKernal Adapters are already set up can be added to ESXi-2 simply by right
clicking the Datastore and selecting “Mount Datastore to other Host”.

Create a NFS Datastore

 

Now both ESXi Hosts
have access to this store, migrating a VM thatÂ’s hosted on that datastore would
be easy.
