Experts,
I am trying to mount a NFS share to my ESXi box to do vmdk backups to my Drobo5N. I installed NFS 1.2.8 and it shows running in the dashboard. When attempting to mount the share in ESXi I get this:
~ # esxcfg-nas -a Drobo_DS -o 192.168.1.5 -s /mnt/Drobo5N/Shares/VMBackups
Connecting to NAS volume: Drobo_DS
Unable to connect to NAS volume Drobo_DS: Sysinfo error on operation returned status : The NFS server denied the mount request. Please see the VMkernel log for detailed error information
Drobo NFS logs show this:
$ tail -f log.txt
exporting 192.168.1.0/24:/mnt/DroboFS/Shares/Public
killall: sm-notify: no process killed
killall: rpc.mountd: no process killed

I thought maybe a restart of the service.sh would fix it but I get a LONG list of “Permission denied” when trying to run the restart command. I restarted it in the dashboard and am still getting the denied message.
Any idea what i’m doing wrong?
