Operation Manual

Select Add Host and enter the hostnames of the machines to which to export the
installation data. Instead of specifying hostnames here, you could also use wild
cards, ranges of network addresses, or just the domain name of your network.
Enter the appropriate export options or leave the default, which works ne in
most setups. For more information about the syntax used in exporting NFS shares,
read the exports man page.

Click Finish. The NFS server holding the openSUSE repository is automatically
started and integrated into the boot process.
If you prefer manually exporting the repository via NFS instead of using the YaST
NFS Server module, proceed as follows:
1
Log in as root.
2
Open the le /etc/exports and enter the following line:
/productversion *(ro,root_squash,sync)
This exports the directory /productversion to any host that is part of this
network or to any host that can connect to this server. To limit the access to this
server, use netmasks or domain names instead of the general wild card *. Refer
to the export man page for details. Save and exit this conguration le.
3
To add the NFS service to the list of servers started during system boot, execute
the following commands:
insserv /etc/init.d/nfsserver
4
Start the NFS server with rcnfsserver start. If you need to change the
conguration of your NFS server later, modify the conguration le and restart
the NFS daemon with rcnfsserver restart.
Announcing the NFS server via OpenSLP makes its address known to all clients in
your network.

Create the /etc/slp.reg.d/install.suse.nfs.reg conguration
