Re: NFS share getting a (1) appended when adding to a new host in existing datacenter

all my existing host had the same datastore name "NFS" and my new host that was added the same share showed up as "NFS(1)" . I determined after going through each of the existing host and looking at the NFS share mount that each one of them listed all caps under the configuration tab for storage. When I was added the NFS share to the new host I was not using all caps. Apparently the database is very very detailed about how to retains these symbolic links to objects. All I had to do was make it the exact same format as the rest of the host and it appears correctly.

 

I spent a lot of time on Google researching this and found lots of related issues, but nothing that specifies the details needed when adding NFS shares to newly added host in a existing environment. I am glad i found out what it was, I should sleep better tonight

 

the existing host listed my NAS unit as NPIATXNAS1.AUSTIN.NPI:/Data   the share was /Data and the name of the datastore i gave it is NFS

 

When I added the new host and tried to add the NFS share I used  NPIATXNAS1.austin.npi  with /data and NFS as the name and it appended the (1).  Hope that helps
