XenServer 7.2 SR - Unable to connect to NFS SR

[Jonathan Poynter1709161771]

Hello, 

I am having issues with connecting an NFS share (Running via WinNFSd On a Windows 10 host) to a standalone XenServer 7.2.

 

Here is what I have tried so far:

I can connect to the share on another windows machine.

I can see the share from the Xen machine by scanning the NFS server for mounts.

I can add the NFS share to Xen Manually by using the mount command. However it does not show up as a usable SR

 

As far as I can see its running NFS v3 and when I connect to the mount via windows 10 i have full permissions to read, write and modify. 

 

Any ideas on what to try here?

 

I can post screenshots if needed.

Windows NFS server is not supported by Citrix Hypervisor as it doesn't fully comply with the spec. If you must use Windows to provide your storage use SMB3.

Note also that XenServer 7.2 is long out of support and has known critical security vulnerabilities relating to CPU exploits.

I connect XenServer to Windows Server built in NFS server, but not with a 3rd party product.

It might just flat out not work for whatever reason.
