create NFS share from Proxmox to ESXi for migrations

[GCIntlMK]

I want to speed up migrating from ESXi to Proxmox. I created a 14TB ZFS raid called tank on proxmox.

Then did: apt-get install nfs-common nfs-kernel-server.
In /etc/exports I added the line: /tank 10.25.10.0/255.255.255.0(rw)
Unmasked nfs-common and started it and temporarily disabled the firewall.

Still can't mount as NFS3. It say's the server refused it.

Any ideas? Exports will take forever.

Think you have to install portmap for nfsv3

You don't start nfs-common, you start nfs-kernel-server.

I just tried this and it worked without much configuration. Did you follow something like this guide?

Could you try something like this?

showmount -e localhost # on the nfs server
showmount -e 10.25.10.0 # from somewhere else
mkdir nfstest
mount -v -t nfs -o vers=3 10.25.10.0:/tank ~/nfstest

Still can't mount as NFS3. It say's the server refused it.

In the PVE GUI?

I used another guide I found online for running NFS from proxmox. The error I got was from VMWare. Two of my raid drives are failing on my ZFS raid so I need to replace them first.
