Configuring NFS Shares
To use NFS shares with the Dell Management Plug-in for backup and restore operations, firmware updates, and as a
staging folder, there are certain configuration items that you must complete. CIFS shares do not require additional
configuration.
To configure NFS shares:
1. On the machine hosting the NFS shares, edit /etc/exports to add: /share/path <appliance IP> (rw) *(ro).
This allows the virtual appliance full read and write access to the share, but limits all other users to read only.
2. Start nfs services:
service portmap start
service nfs start
service nfslock status
NOTE: The steps above may vary depending on the Linux distribution in use.
3. If any of the services were already running:
exportfs -ra
