Configure Storage System for NFS Redhat Linux (UNIX)


CONFIGURE STORAGE SYSTEM FOR NFS REDHAT LINUX (UNIX)


1. Execute the Setup command.

    > setup


2. If need create the aggregate and volume or use existing volume.



3. Record the IP address and host name for each entry in the /etc/hosts and check

    > ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    > ping Server Name

4. NFS will automatic export when volume created, to avoid

    > options nfs.export.auto-update off

5. Check whether NFS is license if not, add license using

    > license add xxxxxxx

5. Check the qtree security is in UNIX, if not

    > qtree security  ( volume path | qtree path ) UNIX






6. export the volume or qtree using exportfs command

   Syntax: exportfs -io rw,root="Host IP addrress"  volume path

   > exportfs -io rw,root=10.10.10.10   /vol/vol1    = This entry in memory not in /etc/exports


   > exportfs 






   > exportfs -p  rw,root=10.10.10.10  /vol/vol1     = This command make the entry in /etc/exports




   > rdfile /etc/exports




   > exportfs -v /vol/vol1                                         = This command will export particular volume in   
                                                                                         /etc/exports file.




7. To check the exported volume or qtree

   > exportfs -c 10.10.10.10 /vol/vol1                     = This command will check the access

   > exportfs                                                            = This command show list from nfs memory

8. Create on directory in server

   > mkdir /mount


   Syntax:  mount filler ip address: volume or qtree path /mount point

   > mount 10.10.10.11:/vol/vol1 /mount                = vol1 is mount in the /mount directory in the server  

   > cd /mount                                                          = Get in to mount directory  

   > mkdir test_folder                                             = make directory in the mounted directory

9. Permanent mounting in server side for consistency reboot

   > service nfs restart

   > chkconfig nfs on ( consistency reboot )


   > cat  /etc/fstab (depends on UNIX Server (OS))

   Syntax for FSTAB: (linux) and entry depends on UNIX Server (OS)

     <file system>                 <dir>        <type>    <options>    <dump>   <pass>

   > 10.10.10.10:/vol/vol1    /mount          -               -                -              -


   > Press Ctrl+c                                                     = To save and exit from cat command

10. Now NFS is working properly
