• Make sure that the OMIVV captures events from a selected host.

Conguring NFS Shares

To use NFS shares with the OMIVV for backup and restore operations, rmware updates, and as a staging folder, there are certain

conguration items that you must complete. CIFS shares do not require additional conguration.

To congure 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
