i had a similar issue with physical isilon cluster, had to make sure path to /ifs/data/nfs/insightiq directory had permission set to 777, yes that includes data/nfs/insightiq directories. I asked support why did i have to do that if is was imply connected to an NFS export that was pointing to /ifs/data/nfs/insightiq ...never got a good explanation but as soon i changed permission i was able to use Isilon as my InsightIQ datastore.
IIQ is fully compatible and does work with virtual nodes.
Verify that you have the NFS share available for IIQ to mount. You need to be able to mount and reach this directory: /ifs/.ifsvar/modules/fsa
Try from another client, to see if you can mount this directory.
If you are going to use NFS to store the IIQ database, make sure that the mount is available and writable for the IIQ user. You can test this by connecting to the IIQ appliance via SSH and running mount commands directly from the VM.
I was able to mount it just fine from my linux host and from IIQ via the CLI. I performed read/write operations from the IIQ CLI and that also went through fine.
I might have found a work around by mounting the share through the CLI and then just pointing to that mounted folder in the IIQ web install. As far as i can tell it works, but it worries me a bit to do this half-legit. When i get a chance I'll try mounting from a NFS share that's not on the Isilon to see if that works.
If you have any more suggestions, I'm all ears. I'll keep looking into this and maybe try the redhat version. Thanks for all your help
