secondary storage, zone creation

Hi,

i am trying to create a basic zone for simple trial, i am using the most
basic configuration (database , nfs server and management server on the
same machine,  and one host on which i installed xenserver)

my question is:

which path should i give (during the zone creation) to primary storage? is
it /mnt/primary or the /export/primary   ?  (same question for the
secondary storage)


thanks

Hi:
      You can use following command to find out the exports path of your
nfs server:

showmount -e "nfs server ip"

The output will like following:
Exports list on "nfs server ip":
/exports/primary                      *
/exports/secondary                 *

Regards

Isaac

You need to provide the path by which your hosts will be able to connect to them.  for example if you where to mount it from the host with the following command:

mount -t nfs  192.168.1.1:/export/primary /mnt/tmp

then your server would be: 192.168.1.1
and your path would be: /export/primary
