NFS Overview

NFS allows network systems (clients) to share

files and directories that are stored and

administered centrally from a storage system

The following platforms usually support NFS:

Sun Microsystems Solaris Linux

HP-UX

And more

Setting up NFS

Configure NFS using either:

The CLI

FilerView

When setting up NFS, you must have:

An NFS license code

Determined if you are enabling NFS over TCP,

UDP, or both

Determined which version of NFS to enable

Configuring NFS Using the CLI

To use the CLI to configure NFS on a storage

system, complete the following steps:

1. License NFS on the storage system:

license add

Executing this command starts the rpc.mountdand nfsd daemons.

2. Set NFS options:

options nfs

Configuring NFS Using FilerView

To configure NFS using FilerView:

FilerView > NFS > Configure

Exporting Resources

7/29/2019 m09 Nfs Final


Exporting Resources

To make resources available to remote clients,

the resource must be exported.

To export a resource persistently:

Edit the /etc/exports file with new entry

Execute the exportfs -a command

Use FilerView

To export a resource temporarily, use the

exportfs -i -o command

7/29/2019 m09 Nfs Final


/vol/vol0/pubs -rw=host1:host2,root=host1

/vol/vol1 -rw=host2

/vol/vol0/home

Adding an Export: /etc/exports

Specifies the full path to the directory that is exported.

All hosts can mount the /vol/vol0/home directory as

read-write if an option is not specified.

This option gives read-write permissions to

host2 only. All other hosts have no access.

This option gives root permissions for the

pubs directory to host1.

The first option is listed following a dash.

Additional options are separated by commas.In this example the -rw option allows host1

and host2 to mount the pubs directory. Host

names are listed separated by colons.

Test Your Knowledge

1. Allow root access to

/vol/vol0 by adminhost

2. Allow read-write access to/vol/vol0/home by

host1 and host2

3. Allow read-write access to/vol/vol1 by host1 and

read-only access by host3

/etc/exports

a. /vol/vol1 -rw=host2

b. /vol/vol0 -rw=adminhost,root=adminhost

c. /vol/vol0/home -rw=host1:host2

d. /vol/vol0 -ro=host2

e. /vol/vol1 -rw=host1,ro=host3

f. /vol/vol1 rw=host1,root=host3

g. /vol/vol0/home rw=host1,ro=host2

h. /vol/vol0 ro=adminhost,root=adminhost

The exportfs Command

After adding an export to /etc/exports, use

the exportfs -a command to load the exports.

Managing NFS Exports

7/29/2019 m09 Nfs Final


Temporary Exports

Use the exportfs command to create

in-memory exports:

exportfs -i -o

Example:

exportfs -i -o ro=host1/vol/vol0/home

NOTE: When the storage system reboots, this export will be gone.

7/29/2019 m09 Nfs Final


Common exportfs Options

Display all current exports:

exportfs

Add exports to the /etc/exports file:

exportfs -p [options] path

Reload exports from /etc/exports files:

exportfs -r

Unload all exports:

exportfs -uav

Unload a specific export:exportfs -u [path]

Unload an export and remove it from /etc/exports

exportfs -z [path]

Mounting From a Client

To mount an export from a client:

1. Telnet or log in to the host.

2. Create a directory as a mountpoint for the storage appliance.

3. Mount the exported directory in the host directory you just

created.

4. Change directories to the mounted export.

5. Enterls l to verify that the storage appliance is mounted and

accessible.

telnet 10.32.30.20 (1)

# mkdir /system-vol2 (2)

mount system:/vol/vol2 /system-vol2 (3)

cd /system-vol2 (4)

NetApp1-vol2$

#

#

ls l (5)

Module Summary

In this module, you should have learned to:

NFS is a protocol used by Data ONTAP to

network computers.

The /etc/exports file defines exports.

You can configure NFS on a storage systemusing the CLI or FilerView.

After you export a resource, you can mount an

exported file system on a UNIX host.
