If that wasn’t the case then the hosts network configuration should be checked, along with the external networking and NFS server(s). In this example, a response has been received successfully. Using the ‘-I’ parameter in the vmkping command allows you to specify an interface on the host from which the ping will be sent. Connectivity can be tested using vmkping: ~ # vmkping -I vmk0 192.168.88.139 Verify the hosts networking is configured correctly, and that there is a VMkernel interface from which the NFS storage can be accessed. When troubleshooting issues mounting a NFS datastore, you should first confirm there is connectivity to the NFS server.
#Vsphere client 5.5 upload files to datastore error windows
If you are setting up NFS in a lab environment, I’ve done a couple of articles about configuring Windows as an NFS server.

For resilience the vSwitch used, and the NFS server, should have multiple uplinks.For Windows NFS shares it is a tick box option when setting permissions for the share. On non-windows NFS servers this is typically done using the no_root_squash option in the /etc/exports file. ESXi hosts must have root access to the NFS share.

The NFS server should be configured so that it is exporting mount points that are accessible to the hosts via a trusted network.Ensure that the NFS client is enabled on the hosts, and that the necessary firewall ports are open both on your host and on the NFS server.This can be a port group on an existing switch or on a new switch. You should use a dedicated VMKernel interface for connecting to the NFS server.When using an NFS share as storage for virtual machines, there are a few things to be aware of. NFS can be used as an alternative to a VMFS datastore for storing virtual machines.
