Hi,
I've set up an NFS share on a Dell NAS running Windows Storage Server 2008 and Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) to provide user name mapping from UNIX to Windows.
I can add the NFS share as a datastore to my ESXi host with no issues; but for some reason, I can't add the same NFS share to a VDR appliance running on an ESXi host even if that host is the one running the VDR!
When adding an NFS datastore to a host, the dialog asks me for following:
- Server: "111.222.333.444"
- Folder: "MyNFSShare"
- Datastore Name: "MyNFSDatastore"
When adding a destination to the VDR, the dialog asks me for the following:
- URL: "\\111.222.333.444\MyNFSShare"
- User Name: "<NFS Share Username>"
- Password: "<NFS Share Password>"
I've also tried entering the vCenter Administrator user credentials but it makes no difference and the event log on the NAS is reporting a successful security event "Audit Success" for the user logon anyway.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
