To see the KB for configuring the NFS export entry on the IntelliStore server, refer to <Document: 1015741.1> : IntelliStore - How to Export a File System Using NFSIntelliStore - How to Export a File System Using NFS


File system permissions are also set in the NFS export entry on the IntelliStore server. If the client does not have the type of access to the NFS mount that is expected, check the NFS export permissions to make sure the appropriate permissions have been granted.

Steps to Follow
Mounting a NFS File System from a Linux Client:
  1. Create a mount point (directory) where you want to access the IntelliStore file system.
    Note: If using an existing directory, all files in that directory will be lost once the file system is mounted.
  2. Add an appropriate entry to the /etc/fstab file. (Please see "man fstab" and "info fstab" for more information.)
    This will cause the file system to be mounted each time the Linux client boots.

    Example: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/archive/system1/path /mnt/system1 nfs rw 0 0
    Where 'xxx.xx.xxx.xxx' is IntelliStore IP
    ':/archive/system1/path' is exported path from IntelliStore server
    'mnt/system1' is the mount point from step 1
    'nfs' is filesysytem type
    'rw' is comma delimited permissions
    '0 0'' are two zeros to tell Linux not to dump or fsck the file system
  3. From the Linux client command line type: mount
    This will cause the entry associated with the given mount point in the fstab file to be mounted.

Mounting a NFS File System from a Solaris Client:

  1. Create a mount point (directory) where you want to access the IntelliStore file system.
    Note: If using an existing directory, all files in that directory will be lost once the file system is mounted.
  2. Add an appropriate entry to the /etc/vfstab file. (Please see "man vfstab" for more information.)
    This will cause the file system to be mounted each time the Solaris client boots.

    Example: #device device mount FS fsck mount mount
    #to mount to fsck point type pass at boot options

    xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/archive/system1/path - /mnt/system1 nfs - yes rw
  3. From the Solaris client command line type: mount
    This will cause the entry associated with the given mount point in the vfstab file to be mounted.
