vmware images store into NFS

Tags:

Hi there,

I need help here. I am trying to install an OS into my virtual machine but it prompts me that I do not have a hard disk drives. So I was advised that I need to use NFS in Ubuntu in order to share the hard disk drives in my ESX server.

Hence, I went to search the relevant codes to install NFS in Ubuntu. This is what I have found.

sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common portmap (Upon applying this command,it prompts me that "package: nfs-kernel-server" is not found)
Does that mean I have to install this package first before installing?
Where can I find this package?
Can you please help me?

apt-cache search nfs | grep ^nfs

If nothing shows up, then it's not in the software archives in your /etc/apt/sources.list file; you will need to put an entry to Ubuntu-compatible archives on the net and then:

apt-get update

Then try the search again to make sure the packages can be found, and then you can install them with apt-get.
