We have 3 virtual machine server machines that mount virtual machines from 2 other storage systems. We mount virtual machines from storage servers to have less data to move when moving virtual machines (pause on one server, install on a new server, fail) and facilitate snapshots and backups.
We were in the middle of an extended blackout due to storms (the OPS team forgot to check that we have fuel in the generator, and do not check it weekly tsk, tsk), so we close everything.
After refueling the generator, we started to lift everything. A big problem.
For NFS to mount the storage, NFS wants to perform a reverse DNS lookup, but the DNS server is a virtual machine that cannot start until the storage is mounted by NFS!
We copied the DNS server virtual machine to one of the VM servers locally and started it so that we could bring everything.
We would like to start NFS without reverse lookup (everything on our internal network), but cannot find out how to disable it.
Any help is appreciated
