Xen

Opensolaris : Citrix XenServer / ESX - Hooking into ZFS

To share your zfs pool via NFS (that works with Citrix Xen / ESX) to a host called “esxhost”;

zfs set sharenfs=rw,nosuid,root=esxhost tank/nfs

Note : You MUST have a resolvable name from the opensolaris box. i.e. you should be able to ping it. I have tried with ip’s only and it will fail. I have edited the /etc/hosts file to include the following line for my config;

# Copyright 2007 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved. # Use is subject to license terms. # # ident “%Z%%M% %I% %E% SMI” # # Internet host table # 192.168.9.120 esxhost
