Based on Ubuntu –

Server –

install NFS on Ubuntu  –

aptitude -y install nfs-kernel-server

create a “Share”

`mkdir /nfs`

make sure u have at least the following options specified in /etc/exports

/nfs 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)

Reload NFS Daemon –

exportfs -r

Check to see that u can see it from the remote XenServer DomU (This also check application layer connectivity) –

`showmount -e host`

mount the share from NFS remote Storage to the domU as a client

xe-mount-iso-sr 192.168.0.20:/nfs

Now it should be visible in xenCenter and have its own object ID.

`xe sr-list | grep -B 1 Remote`
