The basic things you will need to do to your NetApp are: Luckily the cluster setup wizard now takes care of all the annoying stuff when you deploy NetApp ONTAP. Configure NetApp to Serve NFS Datastores to VMware The next step for your VMware environment is to mount the storage, but you must configure your NetApp first. New-VMHostNetworkAdapter -VMhost -PortGroup NFS -VirtualSwitch vSwitch1 -IP X.X.X.X -SubnetMask X.X.X.X New-VirtualSwitch -VMHost host.domain,com -Name vSwitch1 -nic vmnic2 -mtu 1500
NFS UNDERCOVER APP STORE SERIES
I wrote a series on PowerCLI and networking which you can find the beginning of here, but here is the PowerCLI I used for each ESXi host: I chose standard vSwitches because for no good reason at all other than I had some PowerCLI stashed away and I found that before I found what I had for distributed virtual switches. I connected a NIC on my nested ESXi host to this VLAN before I did any configuration. My lab already has a NFS VLAN so I got off easy here. Before you do this, you need to decide what network you will be using for NFS.
You will need to create a VMkernel port for NFS access on ESXi hosts. Here are the general things you need to do in vSphere:Įasy, right? Creating a VMkernel Port for NFS Access on ESXi Hosts I am going to start with the VMware vSphere side because well, why not. Set Up Your VMware vSphere Environment for NFS It does not really matter if you start with VMware or NetApp first, because there are steps you need on each cluster before you can actually present storage. The following are the basic steps you will have to follow to get up and running with VMware and NetApp quickly. I helped customers do some pretty cool things with NetApp NFS storage and VMware during my time there. It was the main reason I became a NetApp SE years ago. I used to work for NetApp, because I like the way VMware and NetApp worked together so much.
