Configure the NFS Server on Linux
NFS is supported natively on Linux file systems, which requires that you have a Linux box. Because a
Linux file server can be built inexpensively, it is highly recommended that a file server be built and
dedicated for MARS archived data.
This section presents an example configuration as guidance for configuring your NFS to archive the data
for a MARS Appliance. For each MARS Appliance that you want to archive for a given NFS server, you
must set up a directory on the NFS server to which the appliance can read and write. The following
procedure identifies the steps required to accomplish this task.
To prepare a Linux NFS Server for archiving from a MARS Appliance, follow these steps:
Step 1
Log in to the NFS server using an account with root permissions.
Step 2
Create a directory for archiving data.
For example:
OL-14672-01
