Setting Up NFS Storage in Apache CloudStack

NFS (Network File System) storage is a popular choice for primary and secondary storage solutions. NFS storage offers a shared file system approach, allowing multiple servers to access the same files concurrently over a network. Apache CloudStack is not limited to NFS you can explore other storage options.

Install NFS 
                                    apt install nfs-kernel-server -y
Setup static ip using netplan

After you paste the code below run netplan apply

                                    network:
version: 2
renderer: NetworkManager
ethernets:
    enp0s3:
        addresses: [192.168.1.100/24]
        nameservers:
            addresses: [8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4]
        routes:
            - to: default
            via: 192.168.1.1
Create exports 
                                    echo "/export  *(rw,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)" > /etc/exports
mkdir -p /export/primary /export/secondary
exportfs -a
Configure NFS 
                                    sed -i -e 's/^RPCMOUNTDOPTS="--manage-gids"$/RPCMOUNTDOPTS="-p 892 --manage-gids"/g' /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server
sed -i -e 's/^STATDOPTS=$/STATDOPTS="--port 662 --outgoing-port 2020"/g' /etc/default/nfs-common
echo "NEED_STATD=yes" >> /etc/default/nfs-common
Restart NFS service 
                                    systemctl restart nfs-kernel-server
