STORCENTER
ADDING A SHARE ON AN IOMEGA STORCENTER NAS DEVICE
When using NFS storage, you need to add a share on a StorCenter
w Host access – provide the VMkernel port mount access to the share.
w Read/write access – provide the VMkernel port read/write access to the share. w Root access – provide the VMkernel port root access to the share.
NFS exports directories with root_squash turned on. This means that root on the client machine will be mapped to the anonymous UID, which is commonly nobody. The result is that root on the client machine will not be able to access anything in the exported entry. The no_root_squash option prevents this behavior. Therefore, if you want to secure the share to be used by ESX, you must enable root account access on your Lifeline. If you choose to leave the share non- secured, then nothing special needs to be done.
