Symptoms

The NFS client servers are not able to create any volumes on the guest vServers.  The program is failing with an error message: 'Unable to access file system at <IP>: rpc mount export: RPC: Timed out'.

On the nodes, "showmount -e <IP>", works with the direct IP address of the active storage NAS head - but, it does not work with the 'floating' IP address of the storage <IP>



In the ZFS BUI, Configuration -> Network -> <IP>  is Green.
