Configuring NFS Shares

To use NFS shares with the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter 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 Linux or Unix OS 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
