NFS Services Administrator's Guide (B.11.31.03) August 2008

Table 2-2 NFS Server Daemons (continued)
FunctionDaemon Name
Flushes nfslog information from the kernel to a file.nfslogkd
Maps to and from NFSv4 owner and owner group identification attributes
to local UID and GID numbers used by both NFSv4 client and server.
nfsmapid
Supports server side delegation.
nfs4srvkd
Supports record lock and share lock operations on the NFS files.
rpc.lockd
Maintains a list of clients that have performed the file locking operation over
NFS against the server. These clients are monitored and notified in the event
of a system crash.
rpc.statd
Following are the tasks involved in configuring and administering an NFS server:
• Configuring the NFSv4 Server Protocol Version (Optional)
• “Enabling an NFS Server ” (Required)
• “Sharing Directories with NFS Clients” (Required)
• “Configuring an NFS Server for use by a PC NFS client” (Optional)
• “Unsharing (Removing) a Shared Directory” (Optional)
• “Disabling the NFS Server ” (Optional)
Configuring the NFSv4 Server Protocol Version
By default, the version of the NFS protocol used between the client and the server is
the highest one available on both systems. On HP-UX 11i v3, the default maximum
protocol version of the NFS server and the client is 3. The default minimum protocol
version of the NFS server and the client is 2.
To configure the NFS server to enable clients to mount filesystems using protocol
version 4 (NFSv4), follow these steps:
1. Set the value of NFS_SERVER_VERSMAX variable to 4 in the /etc/default/nfs
file, as follows:
NFS_SERVER_VERSMAX=4
The NFS_SERVER_VERSMAX variable specifies the maximum protocol version of the
NFS protocol for communication. For more information on NFSv4, see nfsd(1m),
mount_nfs(1m), and nfsmapid(1m).
Enabling an NFS Server
To enable an NFS server, follow these steps:
1. In the /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file, ensure that the NFS_SERVER and
START_MOUNTD variables are set to 1:
