InsightIQ NFS datastore
Hello all,
Does anyone know what is the correct procedure to specidy a NFS datastore in InsightIQ?
I am able to mount the datastore but not able to add it as a datadtore in InsightIQ WebUI
I entered the FQDN in the NFS Server field: isitropic
and in the datastore path I entered the NFS export: /ifs/project/insightiq
The error is: Connection to NFS host (isitropic) could not be made. Host name or IP may be invalid or the server may not be responding.
While mounting:
[root@si24 ~]# mount -t nfs isitropic:/ifs/project/insightiq foo
[root@si24 ~]# df -h foo
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
isitropic:/ifs/project/insightiq
The host name is valid as I am able to mount.
Please help!

Hello,
from the InsightIQ Installation Guide:
InsightIQ might cache permissions for failed attempts to mount the NFS export. If InsightIQ continues to report that it does not have sufficient rights to create the path on the NFS host, reboot the InsightIQ virtual appliance to clear the previous mount attempts and then try again.
If you want to store InsightIQ data on an Isilon cluster or other NFS-based server, you must ensure that the cluster or server includes a properly configured NFS export rule that exports the data-store path and grants write access to the "root" user for the specified InsightIQ virtual appliance IP address; this enables InsightIQ to mount the cluster or server and create the necessary directories and files on the cluster or server.
You must ensure that the cluster includes a properly configured NFS export rule that exports the data-store path and grants write access to the "root" user. Isilon OneFS ships with a default NFS export rule for the /ifs directory that you can use for InsightIQ. If that default NFS export has been modified or deleted, you must create a new NFS export rule that allows write access for InsightIQ.
HTH,
