HP StoreAll Storage - Manual (Page 58)

5 Using NFS
To allow NFS clients to access a StoreAll file system, the file system must be exported. You can
export a file system using the GUI or CLI. By default, StoreAll file systems and directories follow
POSIX semantics and file names are case-sensitive for Linux/NFS users. If you prefer to use Windows
semantics for Linux/NFS users, you can make a file system or subdirectory case-insensitive.
NOTE: The latest release of NFS supported by current version of the StoreAll software is NFS
version 3.
Exporting a file system
Exporting a file system makes local directories available for NFS clients to mount. The Fusion
Manager manages the table of exported file systems and distributes the information to the /etc/
exports
files on the file serving nodes. All entries are automatically re-exported to NFS clients
and to the file serving node standbys unless you specify otherwise.
NOTE: A file system must be mounted before it can be exported.
Use the Add a New File Share and Object Store Wizard to export a file system:
1.
Select File Shares and Object Store from the Navigator, and click Add on the File Shares panel
to open the wizard.
NOTE: Alternately, open the wizard as follows:
1. Select a file system on the Filesystems panel.
2. Select NFS Exports from the lower Navigator, and then click Add on the NFS Exports
panel.
2. On the File Share and Object Store window, select or enter the following:
•
The file system to be exported
•
NFS as the file sharing protocol
•
The export path (for example, /myFS)
Click Next.
