Yeah it setup a ubuntu server with nfs , and allocated a ip to send the NFS export to. So my server with 4tb space is allocated as a data store on my esxi server pretty sweet :).

nvm lol , ip .... fark !

I have esxi server and a ubuntu server with the esxi having a 1tb drive as its primary datastore for the os's and the ubuntu server with 4tb of storage. I have setup a nfs server and connected it to vm to run it as a file storage , but ...... how do i secure the NFS server so only the server can access it. btw im using webmin to configure nfs its awesome.
