PowerStore File Systems and NFS Exports can be consumed as NFS datastores in vSphere. NFS datastores can be used for Supervisor Control Plane Nodes, Ephemeral Disks, Image Cache, Content Library, and Persistent Volumes. Like block volumes, NFS datastores are tagged and associated with a VM Storage Policy so that they can be consumed by vSphere with Tanzu or Tanzu Kubernetes Clusters.
Note: A NAS Server must be created before a File System and NFS Export can be created. See the PowerStore documentation for the process to create a NAS Server.
To provision a File System and NFS Export in PowerStore Manager, follow these steps:
Note: Following best practices, be sure the NFS datastore is shared and mounted across all hosts in the vSphere cluster. If using NSX-T for networking and NFS datastores, VMware recommends a unique NFS datastore for each NSX Edge node.
