Infrastructure Software

Hi All,

Platform is Oracle VM 2.2.1. Using kernel 2.6.18-128.2.1.4.37.el5xen.

Storage is a NetApp using NFS over TCP option. Ports (both udp and tcp) 111, 2049 and the NFS server ports have been added to iptables.

Server has not been added to the pool yet. When trying a manual mount of the NFS volume with iptables enabled:

# mount -v NetApp:/mount/point /mnt
mount: no type was given - I'll assume nfs because of the colon
mount: trying NetApp prog 100003 vers 3 prot tcp port 2049
mount: mount to NFS server NetApp' failed: timed out (retrying).

If I turn off iptables, it mounts fine. If I use the option proto=tcp, it also mounts fine:

# mount -v -o proto=tcp NetApp:/mount/point /mnt
mount: no type was given - I'll assume nfs because of the colon
mount: trying NetApp prog 100003 vers 3 prot tcp port 2049
mount: trying NetApp prog 100005 vers 3 prot tcp port 4046

So far, my existing server pool nodes have iptables turned off. If I try to add this new server with iptables turned on to the existing pool, I'm assuming it'll fail just like the manual mount also fails without the proto=tcp option.

Is there something I can tweak to get iptables (with the relevant nfs ports added) running on the nodes in my server pool?

Thanks.
