HOWTO--> NFS

NFS

On the server you want to export the filesystem/directory (more than likely the Satellite server)

# vi /etc/exports

To allow complete access to e.g. /var/satellite/installs add the following line

/var/satellite/installs   *(rw,no_root_squash)

save the file

# exportfs

NFS may not be running so it will need to be setup as follows

# /sbin/portmap

# rpcinfo –p [check portmapper is running]

# /etc/init.d/nfs start

# exportfs

Fom the client

Ensure nfs is running

# rpcinfo –p

if the response looks like this

program vers proto   port

    100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper

    100000    2   udp    111  portmapper

then start nfs services

# /etc/init.d/nfs start

Try rpcinfo –p again to ensure all serveices have started.

# mount –t nfs 10.245.203.169:/installs /mnt

a symbolic link has been created on the satellite server called installs which points to /var/satellite/installs
