It is very simple and straight forward to setup. The transfer server storage is basically mounted on the path "/opt/vmware/vcloud-director/data/transfer/" on the vCD cell. If it is a single cell then the transfer storage is mounted on the local disk.
Pre-requisites,
1. Login to your vCD and ping your NFS server just to confirm the connectivity.
2. Run the below command on the vCD shell. Change your parameters accordingly, the command is given below,
#mount <NFS server name or IP>:/<NFS share path> /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/data/transfer
Example:
# mount 192.168.1.5:/mnt/esxsan/nfs/nfsds /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/data/transfer/
3. To make sure the storage is loaded after the reboot, add it in the 'fstab'.
#vi /etc/fstab
Once complete, check the fstab to confirm.
Next: how to replace the existing Transfer Storage with a new one.
Pre-requisites,
- NFS server with fully setup shares.
- NFS server and share details.
- Atleast one vCD cell.
- Both NFS and vCD must talk to each other.
