Yes, they definitely exist. The simple test I’ve done is deploy a new machine and try to power it On right after.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Browsing the Datastore it shows all the files there, it’s just a power On that doesn’t work.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">So, Tomaso, I believe that on the test you did when you mentioned the Linux kernel NFS server that is directly on the brick folder not on a GlusterFS mounted volume ? I guess it’s not possible to export it using
the kernel NFS server.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">What would take to get it working with the Gluster export ?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Hi,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I have been trying to run VMware ESXi VMs on Gluster and was never able to, either with Gluster 3.2 or 3.3. It mounts the NFS, deploy the VM but can’t power it on. I suspect it would be something to do with the
way Gluster exports NFS.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I have been people reporting that they used it with KVM VMs and normal Linux NFS, but I never saw anyone saying they have used it with VMware.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I have enabled TRACE logging and grabber the logs from the host I mounted the Datastore while trying to power on the VM.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Would someone care to look and confirm if it’s a NFS export problem or if the problem is somewhere else ?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
