| 6 | 330 | Text correction Sidebar should read: Is There Always an Exception to the Rule? Thus far, in the "Working with NFS Datastores" section, I've been talking about how NFS always uses only a single link, and how you always need to use multiple VMkernel ports and multiple NFS exports in order to utilize multiple links. Normally, vSphere requires that you mount an NFS datastore using the same IP address or hostname and path on all hosts (you'll see this in the section "Creating and Mounting an NFS Datastore"). vSphere 5 adds the ability to use a DNS hostname that resolves to multiple IP addresses. However, each vSphere host will resolve the DNS name only once. This means that it will resolve to only a single IP address and will continue to use only a single link, as I've described. In this case, there is no exception to the rule. However, this configuration can provide some rudimentary load balancing for multiple hosts accessing a datastore via NFS over multiple links. |
