NFS Ganesha ingress parameter not valid?
Dear All, I have deployed the latest CEPH Pacific release in my lab and started to check out the new ?stable? NFS Ganesha features. First of all I'm a bit confused which method to actually use to deploy the NFS cluster: cephadm or ceph nfs cluster create? I used "nfs cluster create" for now and noticed a minor problem in the docs. https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/cephfs/fs-nfs-exports/#cephfs-nfs The command is stated as: $ ceph nfs cluster create <clusterid> [<placement>] [--ingress --virtual-ip <ip>] while as it needs a type (cephfs) to be specified nfs cluster create <type> <clusterid> [<placement>] : Create an NFS Cluster Also I can't manage to use the --ingress --virtual-ip parameter. Every time I try to use it I get this: [root@cephboot~]# ceph nfs cluster create cephfs ec9e031a-cd10-11eb-a3c3-005056b7db1f --ingress --virtual-ip 192.168.9.199 Invalid command: Unexpected argument '--ingress' nfs cluster create <type> <clusterid> [<placement>] : Create an NFS Cluster Error EINVAL: invalid command So i just deployed a NFS cluster without a VIP. Maybe I'm missing something? What about this note in the docs:
From Pacific, the nfs mgr module must be enabled prior to use. <<
I can't find any info on how to enable it. Maybe this is already the case? ceph nfs cluster create cephfs ec9e031a-cd10-11eb-a3c3-005056b7db1f "cephnode01" This seems to be working fine. I managed to connect a CentOS 7 VM and I can access the NFS export just fine. Great stuff. For testing I tried to attach the same NFS export to a standalone ESXi 6.5 Server. This also works, but its diskspace is shown as 0 bytes: I'm not sure if this supported or I'm missing something. I could not find any clear info in the docs only some reddit posts where users mentioned that they were able to use it with VMware. Thanks and Best Regards, Oliver
Ok, I got a bit further. I can now mount the NFS export on my ESXi server and use it as a datastore. I added the ESXi host with RW and no_root_squash permissions in the Ceph Dashboard. After re-mounting it on the ESXi datastore it works fine. Any idea about the ingress? Regards, Oliver Am 15.06.2021 um 12:01 schrieb Oliver Weinmann:

while as it needs a type (cephfs) to be specified
