We have been very successful in setting up PM 1.8 to work as a NFS client at the hypervisor level and then bind all OpenVZ guests to the NFS connection. It works great, very reliable and very easy to manage.
However we are now looking to do something more. One of the OpenVZ hosts on a PM 1.8 server needs to BE a NFS server to the other hosts on the same box. In this case, the hypervisor will not be the client, but the OpenVZ VMs will individually be the client to the NFS Server within PM.
Is this possible? Will setting this up affect the other NFS settings on the hypervisor that we have set and are bound to the OpenVZ clients, or can I just treat this as if it was an external NFS server and mount its shared volumes to the OpenVZ clients directly (ie. through /etc/fstab, etc.)?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
