Hello and thanks for your answer.
Actually my pvfs2-fs.conf contains this information about aliases:

<Aliases>
        Alias 10.10.8.2 tcp://10.10.8.2:3334
</Aliases>


So I should start the server like this, right?

pvfs2-server /etc/pvfs2-fs.conf  -d -a 10.10.8.2

10.10.8.2 is the local IP address of the VM.
By the way I am able to start another process that binds to 10.10.8.2 and 3334 
port and waits for tcp connections.
That's very strange.

Many thanks,
Dimos.
