I am still in the testing stages of ProxMox VE as a potential VMware replacement.

I have successfully set up a single host, and successfully connected it to an NFS share on a TrueNAS. The shared storage on the 1st host shows a "status: available" .

Yesterday, I set up a 2nd host, with the goal of setting up a cluster. I am having issues getting connected to the same NFS share on this 2nd host. I have added the Shared storage but I had to uncheck the "enabled" box when I first attached it. Then I went to edit the shared storage and checked the 'enabled; box, The storage now shows on the left pane, but with a "Status: unknown".

I have confirmed that I can ping the TrueNAS from this 2nd host. I have also confirmed the TrueNAS share is currently allowing any host to connect (i.e. I do not have any entries in the 'network' or 'hosts' boxes set currently in the TrueNAS NFS share.)

I have been able to load (test) VMs onto the shared storage from the 1st host, so it seems like the TrueNAS NFS share is working correctly. But I am at a loss as to why I cannot get it connected to the 2nd host properly.
