Nfs Client Groups; Nfs Locks Page - HP ProLiant 300 Series Administration Manual

The storage server keeps the locks active for the specified number of seconds, while querying
the client to see if it wants to keep the lock. If the client responds within this time frame, the lock
is kept active. Otherwise, the lock is cleared.

NFS client groups

The Client Groups feature gives administrators a method of assigning access permissions to a set of
clients. The administrator creates a client group, gives it a name, and then inserts clients into the group by
client name or IP address. After the client group is created, the administrator adds or removes permissions
for the entire group, instead of allowing or denying access for each individual client machine.
Proper planning includes control over the naming conventions of client groups and users. If the client
group is given the same name as a client, the client is obscured from the view of the server. For example,
assume that a client d4 exists. If a client group called d4 is created, permissions can no longer be
assigned to just the client d4. Any reference to d4 now refers to client group d4.
To manage NFS client groups:
• From the WebUI, access the NFS Protocol Properties page by clicking Shares, Sharing
Protocols. Click Client Groups.
The NFS Client Groups page is displayed.
