Cloud Controller can not mount NFS on NFS server

[animesh nandanwar]

Hi All,

While deploying Cloudfoundry over opnestack, I get following error "Error 400007: `cloud_controller/0' is not running after update". 

I checked logs on cloud controller VM and it shows me following error in /var/vcap/sys/log/monit/cloud_controller_ctl.err.log file.

"mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 172.24.4.226:/var/vcap/store/shared".

Contents of /var/vcap/sys/log/monit/cloud_controller_ctl.log show following

"Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an

Upstart job, you may also use the restart(8) utility, e.g. restart idmapd

idmapd start/running, process 32187

Mounting NFS...

Cannot mount NFS, exiting...

Removing stale pidfile...

Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)

utility, e.g. service idmapd restart"

Can someone help me to understand what is happening here ? I have enabled port 2049 in security group.

Thanks,

Animesh

Hi,

I get a feeling something is wrong with your NFS settings/configuration.
Are you able to access the NFS server via a simple server? If yes then I suggest that you run the same script on the troubling instance and check for logs live.

Sorry guys, There was a misconfiguration in my manifest file.

I did not specify IP addresses for Cloud Controller in manifest and for NFS, I mentioned 172.24.4.224/28 as the CIDR. Because of this, NFS could not properly set up and hence the error.

Thank you  !!!
