[SOLVED] NFS storage creation failure

[Daniel Jörg]

Hi

I have a ProLiant Server with Promox and Synology NAS as backup device with NFS configured. When I try to add NFS storage on Proxmox I get the error: create storage failed: error with cfs lock 'file-storage_cfg': storage 'backup' is not online (500)

• Proxmox has IP 192.168.30.41
• Synology with NFS has IP 192.168.30.45 (Firewall disabled / Autoblocking disabled)
• NFS share is /volume1/proxmox and subnet 192.168.30.0/42 has access rights for the NFS share

I can ping the Synology from Proxmox:
PING 192.168.30.45 (192.168.30.45) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.30.45: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.157 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.30.45: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.154 ms

So what I am missing here?

And I forgot:

• the VMs are doing well, no problems so far
• if I do a pvesm nfsscan 192.168.30.45 it takes long time but I get the right output:
  /volume1/proxmox 192.168.30.0/24

OK, I changed today the switch and now it works...

Thanks for sharing your issue and the (rather unexpected) solution!
