Nfs File Sharing - EMC Iomega StorCenter ix2-dl User Manual

NFS File Sharing

On the Protocols page, click the switch to turn on NFS (Network File System) to allow remote hosts
to mount file systems over a network and interact with them as though they were mounted locally to
your Iomega StorCenter ix2-dl .
Note: Select an option to choose how users on client computers are mapped to the StorCenter ix2-dl
:
•
To have all users, including root, map as guest, select Treat client users as guest (all_squash).
All files are owned by user guest, and all users accessing the StorCenter ix2-dl have the same
access rights. If you have enabled Active Directory on your StorCenter ix2-dl , only this option
is available for mapping client computers.
• To have all users map as themselves but root maps as guest, select Allow full access for client
users other than root (root_squash).
•
To have all users map as themselves, including root, select Allow all client users full access.
Once enabled, add NFS access rules for each secure Share from the
provides another protocol for sharing storage data with Linux hosts. When NFS is enabled, you can
configure rules for host-based access to secure Shares.
Rules can be added to secure Shares to specify the hosts that are allowed to access Shares using
NFS. For example, *.cs.foo.com matches all hosts in the domain cs.foo.com. To export a Share to all
hosts on an IP address or local network simultaneously, specify an IP address and netmask pair as
address/netmask where the netmask can be in dotted-decimal format, or as a contiguous mask
length. For example, either /255.255.252.0 or /22 will result in identical local networks.
