Oracle VM Server 3.1.1 issues with NFS share

Question

Hi guys
I am kind of stuck with the same issue for more than a week now. I have two virtual machines on Virtual box 4.1.8 (VM Server and VM Manager 3.1.1) and NFS following is disk/mount information on VM Server
[root@oravms ~]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3             3.0G  636M  2.2G  23% /
/dev/sda1              99M   28M   67M  29% /boot
tmpfs                 242M   16K  242M   1% /dev/shm
/dev/sdb1             296G   17G  264G   6% /storage1
/dev/sdc1             197G  320M  187G   1% /storage2
none                  242M   40K  242M   1% /var/lib/xenstored

                      296G   17G  264G   6% /OVS/Repositories/0004fb0000030000e19fce4b38346de1From last whole week I am trying to import a single VM template as a test object, Oracle E-Business suite 12.1.3 APPS tier and everytime once after a certain portion of the template unpacked, the VM server goes for a toast!! it either reboots or the NFS gets into a lock
Both the virtual machines have 4GB memory, independant NICs dedicated for each virtual machine (as somebody else from forums suggested for it...)
Please help me!!!

hi user12273962
I hope the following few details will assist you to provide me a suggestion to overcome this issue
My Oracle VM server IP address: 192.168.0.20
VM Manager IP: 192.168.0.23
Both machines are tied to different NICs for avoiding excess traffic
df -h on VM server
[root@oravms ~]# df -h

/storage2       192.168.0.20(rw,sync,no_root_squash,nohide)Should I export the mount points to another server? Please let me know.
NFS was the only one file type recognized by the discovery process...I am quite new to virtualization, actually spent last whole week trying and fixing one or other issue with the VM server :D
If you know how I could avoid NFS in the entire scenario (as this is just for learning purpose) I would be grateful :)
