Creating a Sample NFS File Share

HP recommends performing the following tests to verify that the setup of the shares, user
mappings, and permissions grant the desired access to the NFS shares.
1. Create an NFS share. NFS Shares are All Machines, read-only by default.
2. Create NFS client groups if desired. See "NFS Client Groups" earlier in this chapter.
3. Verify that the NFS share exists.
4. Map a user. When creating Active Directory/Domain mappings, ensure that the NFS
5. Verify that the mappings exist.
6. On the Linux/UNIX system, use the mapped user to create a file.
7. Verify that the same permissions are set up for the user on both the UNIX side and the

the file.
See "NFS File Shares" earlier in this chapter for information on creating shares.
Use Remote Desktop to log into the NAS 2000s and access the command line interface:
nfsshare <sharename> (sharename represents the name of the share)
Authentication software is installed on the domain controllers that have user name
mappings. See "Installing NFS Authentication Software on the Domain Controllers and
Active Directory Domain Controllers" section. Also, see "User and Group Mappings" in
this chapter for instructions on setting up user name mappings.
Use Remote Desktop to log in to the NAS 2000s and access the command line interface:
mapadmin list -all
a. As the root user, mount the share:
mount -t nfs <nfs server IP address:/nfs share> /mount
point
b. Log in as a mapped user.
c. Change directories to the mount-point directory.
d. Create the file as the mapped user (example: file1).
Windows side.
a. List the permissions on the UNIX side:
ls -l /mount-point/file1
(Example screen display: -r--r----- unixuser1 unixgroup1)
b. List the permissions on the Windows side: (change to the nfs share directory)
From a command line interface accessed from Remote Desktop on the NAS 2000s:
cacls file1
(Example display: DOMAIN1\Windowsuser1:R)
c. Compare and verify the permissions from UNIX and Windows.
