The CFS server is now ready for configuration of shared resources. See Configure Share Resources.
NFS Gateway Service
The procedures in this section define how to configure services so that shared resources can be added
using the appropriate procedure detailed in the Shared Resource Configuration section of this
document. The CFS file system resource can be accessed from a remote UNIX or Linux machine via the
NFS version 3.
NOTE: Dell does not support NFS version 4 at this time.
The following procedure configures NFS server only. After performing the procedure, you must then
configure shared resources. See Configure Share Resources.
Before Configuring NFS
To configure NFS, you must ensure that IP forwarding and the firewall are disabled.
Disable IP forwarding
By default, RedHat Linux has IP Forwarding disabled. To verify this, run the following command.
# sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward
The command returns a value of 0, if IP forwarding is disabled, or 1 if it is enabled. IP forwarding
should be disabled following the procedures in the RHEL6 documentation.
Configure NFS to share the CFS mount
NFS must be configured to share the CFS mount. The configuration installed includes NFS kernel
support. Configure the NFS /etc/exports file as shown in the Configure Share Resources section. Do not
forget to turn the NFS service on and to start it. See the Configure Share Resources document for more
information.
Configure Share Resources
Share resources provide the connection points for the SMB/CIFS and NFS protocol gateway services that
are provided by the CFS server. Each connection protocol has its own configuration requirements.
These have been integrated into the CFS-admin utility.
