How to add NFS Storage on Proxmox VE
To add NFS Storage on Proxmox VE
Proxmox VE allows you to configure Local Storage and also some of the Network Storages like NFS, ISCSI, GlusterFS and etc for storing guest virtual machines disk image, iso files, and templates etc. Here let’ s see how to set up an NFS Storage for Proxmox VE.
Additionally, we require an NFS Server for configuring NFS Storage. Login to your NFS server and follow the below steps to configure NFS
Adding NFS Storage
You need to install the packages for NFS service by making use of the following command.
[root@localhost ~]# yum install nfs* -y

Complete!
Once it is done, you need to create a storage directory by making use of the following command.
[root@localhost ~]# mkdir /pve
After that, you need to configure your NFS share in exports file as follows.
[root@localhost ~]# vim /etc/exports
/pve 192.168.7.223{rw,sync}
Later, you need to update your NFS Configuration to Kernel.
[root@localhost ~]# exportfs -r
[root@localhost ~]# exportfs &ndash a
Start and enable NFS Service by making use of the following commands.
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl start nfs-server
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl enable nfs-serve
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/nfs-server.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/nfs-server.service.
After that, you need to configure your firewall to allow NFS service for all remote hosts.
[root@localhost ~]# firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=nfs success [root@localhost ~]# firewall-cmd --reload Success
Once NFS server is configured, you need to login to your Proxmox interface through browser, and then click Datacenter Storage NFS.
Once it is done, you need to fill the details of your NFS server like ID, Server IP, export path then click Add.
Now, your NFS storage is added.
With this, the method to add NFS storage comes to an end.
