I have a NAS that is presenting shares via NFS for esxi hosts, one is called metro-software which is where all of my ISOs and installation media resides.
I recently went through a lab reconfiguration to 10gbit and rebooted the esxi host and now it's trying to mount on the old IP however my NAS is blocking it. I can't figure out where in esxi its storing this mount information to try and mount it.
the vsphere c# client doesnt show it, nor does the ssh command esxvfg-volume -l
Any tips on forcing the removal of it?
[root@phxlp-esx02:/vmfs/volumes] esxcfg-volume -l
[root@phxlp-esx02:/vmfs/volumes] esxcfg-volume -u metro-software
VmFileSystem: Unable to get device properties for volume / device : Can't umount normal VMFS volumes. This option is only valid for snapshot/replica volumes which are manually mounted.
[root@phxlp-esx02:/vmfs/volumes] esxcfg-volume -m metro-software
No matching volume metro-software found!
NAS logs are
Dec 23 07:15:47 stg02 mountd[3340]: mount request denied from 192.168.30.51 for /mnt/VAULT/software
the temporary workaround is to allow the 192.168.30.51
IP so it can be mounted but it still doesn't solve my problem of how/where esxi stores its mount information similar to /etc/fstab
.
