NFS network configuration

[AndyKosh]

I want to create a dedicated network for NFS in my 3 node cluster. Need to know the steps to configure it.

Of cause there are multiple ways to set this up and there are definitely more details than would fit into one post. One possible quick-n-dirty approach:

• take a new unused switch (or use VLANs)
• connect one NIC on each PVE node here
• connect the NFS server here
• configure a new bridge with that new NIC on each node. (Using the NIC w/o a bridge is absolutely possible, but this opens more future use cases.)
• test connectivity
• go to Datacenter --> Storage --> Add NFS

Does this sound to fit your needs?
