OS6 on ReadyNAS 3200

Same as other 4.2 models: viewtopic.php?f=161&t=78265

Thanks so much, it worked perfectly!

One odd thing is happening.

I enabled NFS and setup a Volume to connect to a VMware server. I loaded the Storage on an ESX host as you would normally do. Started a vmotion of a VM and perhaps a few mins later the server just crashed apparently and NFS stopped responding.

I could ssh to the server, but could not find anything wrong in the logs.

Any ideas?

Thanks

What version of ReadyNAS OS?

What version of ESXi?

Can you try with a new share that has bitrot protection and snapshots disabled. Please also lower the NFS thread count lowered to 1 or 2. Perhaps also enable async.

I have the 3200 off right now, but it is the latest version available for OS 6.

ESX is 5.5.0,1892794. I have not selected anything fancy, no bitrot or snapshots at all. NFS threads was the default of 6 if memory does not fail.

It used to work with the stock OS before the OS 6 upgrade.

The weird part is that I don't see anything at the OS level in the logs.

Can you send me your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?

send them to the email address mentioned on the Sending Logs page?

Yes

Ok let me duplicate the issue and will send you the logs.

Also just curious, in other NAS's I have been able to assign multiple IP addresses as aliases so you will have for example 2 nics as a bond using 802.3AD LACP. Then I could assign an NFS share to different IP's like:

share10 = 172.16.1.10
share11 = 172.16.1.11
share12 = 172.16.1.12
share13 = 172.16.1.13

This way you balance the connections to different IP addresses and can use the interfaces a bit better. I did not see a way to assign multiple IP addresses to the unit. Is it possible?

Thanks

You can bond the NICs, but I don't think assigning I.P.s as aliases is supported.
