Post Upgrade Steps for NFS-Based VI Workload Domains

After upgrading VI workload domains that use NFS storage, you must add a static route for hosts to access NFS storage over the NFS gateway. This process must be completed before expanding the workload domain.
  1. Identify the IP address of the NFS server for the VI workload domain.
  2. Identify the network pool associated with the hosts in the cluster and the NFS gateway for the network pool.
    1. Log in to SDDC Manager.
    2. Click
      Inventory
      Workload Domains
       and then click the VI workload domain.
    3. Click the
      Clusters
       tab and then click an NFS-based cluster.
    4. Click the
      Hosts
       tab and note down the network pool for the hosts.
    5. Click the Info icon next to the network pool name and note down the NFS gateway.
  3. Ensure that the NFS server is reachable from the NFS gateway. If a gateway does not exist, create it.
  4. Identify the vmknic on each host in the cluster that is configured for NFS traffic.
  5. Configure a static route on each host to reach the NFS server from the NFS gateway.
    esxcli network ip route ipv4 add -g 
    NFS-gateway-IP
     -n 
    NFS-gateway
  6. Verify that the new route is added to the host using the NFS vmknic.
    esxcli network ip route ipv4 list
  7. Ensure that the hosts in the NFS cluster can reach the NFS gateway through the NFS vmkernel.
    For example:
    vmkping -4 -I vmk2 -s 1470 -d -W 5 10.0.22.250
  8. Repeat steps 2 through 7 for each cluster using NFS storage.
