NFS setup

IFX_1 — Wed, 10 May 2006 04:31:06 GMT

How can I define the directory -

DISK$USERS:[USER.COMETSVF.CALLVF.MAL.DATEN.VF42]

into

/nfs/user/cometsvf/callvf/mal/daten/vf42

So that when issue show export it will appear as it is...

$ tcpip show export

File System Host name

/nfs/user/cometsvf/callvf/mal/daten/vf42

Appreciate your help.

Ronald,

out of memory:

- 1st map the drive:
TCPIP MAP "/nfs" DISK$USERS:

- 2nd add the export
TCPIP ADD EXPORT "/nfs/user/cometsfv..." /host=... and more...

Ronald,

try

TCPIP> MAP "/nfs" DISK$USERS:
TCPIP> ADD EXPORT "/nfs/user/cometsvf/callvf/mal/daten/vf42" /HOST=*

Ronald,

After map and export you need to set proxy settings in the tcpip, to allow users to access the disk.

Hi All,
Thanks for your reply.
So this is how to do it:

1. Map the disk
2. Add export
3. Add proxy ! to let the user access the NFS folder

Ron, here is a little bit more detail.

$ tcpip
tcpip> map "/nfs" disk$users:
tcpip> set config map "/nfs" disk$users:
(This makes it permanent!!)
tcpip> add export "/nfs/blah/blah/blah" /host="hostname"
(I would not recommend export to *, specify your hosts)

You will also need a proxy for the host to get in. It is real easy to determine the uid and gid of the by doing a reply/enable=network on the vms node and then attempting access from the nfs client using both a privileged and a non privileged user. The defaults to set are normally done as follows.

tcpip> add proxy nfsuser /uid=-2/gid=-2/host="hostname"
tcpip> add proxy nfsuser/uid=0/gid=1/host="hostname"

If you have problems with the access from the nfs client, the reply /enable=network will show you the credentials being used for the attempted access. Make sure your proxy and uids and gids match that and you should be fine.
