OK so I'm not a novice, but the method of mounting an NFS datastore from ESXi4/vSphere 4 client is not intuitive... So I go to Storage -> Add Storage... I choose NFS (next), now I have 3 choices:
Server
Folder (which folder?) where to mount it on the esxi? or the folder on the NFS host?
Datastore Name
The nfs share from the thecus n8800 is exporting out a share called "NFS_VM1" and it's browesable and I've got the IP of the esxi host in the acl of the thecus...
Can someone guide me as to what to put in those fields?
How come this vmware storage add wizard doesn't prompt me for login credentials? what login is the esxi host sending to the thecus? thanks for the help... screenshots are attached
