mapping NFS storage from XO fails, but works fine from terminal?
-
I went to the plus icon on the bottom of the left menu bar in XO, then storage
I selected my host (mind you there's only one)
gave it a name/description
then chose "NFS" under select storage type.I added another pic to the imgur album
edit: also tried through the settings > remotes menu for fun, also doesn't work
-
From your recent screenshots, I assume that you are wanting to create an NFS SR. If that's correct, then you can ignore my earlier comment about Settings > Remotes.
Are you receiving the error when you click the Search button (magnifying glass icon) after entering the IP address?
-
@Danp yes, it takes a long time but eventually I get the error messages you can see in the screenshot of logs
that is: "Cannot read property 'nfs-exports' of null"
if it helps any the server is running nfs 4, I'm struggling to figure out how to monitor logs from it but if anyone wants to give me a tip on that I can then post any error messages I get from the server side too.

I assume you are running XO from sources. Have you tried with XOA?
Also, you may want to review this issue -- https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/1845
closed Can't create ISO NFS SR via XOA #1845

@Danp yeah I used the installerupdater script, not 100% sure what the difference is between the two but I'll read up, and will check that link, ty

@dewittgarry whats the result of
showmount -e 192.168.100.1 -
@tony
"rpc mount export: RPC: Timed out"some more images, I also tried on a laptop I had lying around, same issue, and I found some entries in firewall logs showing it blocking xcp-ng at some random ephemeral ports.
also not that it really helps but I can showmount from the server to the server so at least nfs is replying to requests even if it's just from itself
-
@dewittgarry a small tip. You can upload or "paste" images directly here in the forum instead of going through imgurl
-
@S-Pam Thank you. Got too used to reddit's garbage handling of images imgur became a habit.

There was a recent commit on Github dealing with NFS mounts. Suggest that you rebuild with the latest source and then try setting up the NFS storage again.
