Go to SolutionCannot mount the NFS share from the simulator (8.1)
Hi,
Currently I am running a one node OneFS 8.1 simulator inside a Windows machine (using VMWare workstation). The host machine has the following ipconfig settings:
C:\Users\Administrator>ipconfig
Windows IP Configuration
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Then the Isilon node is configured with the following external and internal network:
Because I need to access the simulator node from outside the Windows host, I added the following port-forwarding rules on the Windows host:
C:\Users\Administrator>netsh
netsh>interface portproxy
netsh interface portproxy>show all
Listen on ipv4: Connect to ipv4:
Address Port Address Port
--------------- ---------- --------------- ----------
10.2.41.210 8080 192.168.77.2 8080
10.2.41.210 445 192.168.77.2 445
10.2.41.210 111 192.168.77.2 111
10.2.41.210 2049 192.168.77.2 2049
10.2.41.210 300 192.168.77.2 300
10.2.41.210 22 192.168.77.2 22
Then, I can access the web-ui and ssh with no problem from another machine (10.2.52.33) by accessing 10.2.41.210:8080 and 10.2.41.210:22.
However, I cannot access the NFS share, with the following error:
jason@view-jason-ubu:~/mount$ sudo mount -t nfs -o vers=3,ro 10.2.41.210:/ifs/jason isilon-jason/
mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 10.2.41.210:/ifs/jason
I have the following NFS share settings for that directory:
So I was just wondering, what is wrong in my configuration that prevents me from mounting the NFS share from 10.2.52.33? Please feel free to let me know if any additional information needs to be provided.
Thank you so much in advance!

Hi Peter,
Thank you very much for your answers! I tried NFS v4 and it works great!
Although I do want to make option 3 to work, so that I can also use v3. I have added another adapter (10.2.39.67) for my physical network:
I have also configured an interface on the VM to be bridged to that physical adapter:
In this case, how should I set the IP address on that bridged interface in the vm? I suppose I cannot use the same ip which is 10.2.39.67, right? If it will be a different IP, then how from the outside world can I connect to this new IP?
Thanks again

The identical IP is used on the physical interface and for the VM,
"as if" the VM was physically connected to the outside network just like a physical server.
This is what makes it so simple...
BTW in the VM config you could also use the preconfigured bridged network (vmnet0)
via the first option "Bridged: Connected directly..."
But customizing vmnet9 will also do.

By design, NFS v3 uses variable=unpredictable port numbers, determined at startup
and announced through the "portmapper" service on fixed port 111.
Some NFS servers allow to configure fixeds port numbers for all NFS services,
but AFAIK that's not possible with OneFS.
Which leaves us with three alternatives:
1. The rpcinfo tool shows the currently choosen port numbers.
It is used by various scripts that have been written by firewall administrators
facing similar problems. Such scripts could serve as a start for
building an automated dynamic portproxy set-up.
2. Switching to NFS v4, which has fixed port numbers.
3. Using a "bridged network" set-up for the external interface of the Isilon VM.
This needs one more assigned address (like 10.2.41.211) for your physical network
to attach the VM right to the outside world.
