HP StoreAll Storage - Manual (Page 55)

5 Using NFS
To allow NFS clients to access a StoreAll file system, the file system must be exported. You can
export a file system using the GUI or CLI. By default, StoreAll file systems and directories follow
POSIX semantics and file names are case-sensitive for Linux/NFS users. If you prefer to use Windows
semantics for Linux/NFS users, you can make a file system or subdirectory case-insensitive.
NOTE: The latest release of NFS supported by current version of the StoreAll software is NFS
version 3.
Exporting a file system
Exporting a file system makes local directories available for NFS clients to mount. The Fusion
Manager manages the table of exported file systems and distributes the information to the /etc/
exports
files on the file serving nodes. All entries are automatically re-exported to NFS clients
and to the file serving node standbys unless you specify otherwise.
A file system must be mounted before it can be exported.
NOTE: When configuring options for an NFS export, do not use the no_subtree_check
option. This option is not compatible with the StoreAll software.
Export a file system using the GUI
Use the Add a New File Share Wizard to export a file system. Select File Shares from the Navigator,
and click Add on the File Shares panel to open the wizard. (You can also open the wizard by first
selecting a file system on the Filesystems panel, selecting NFS Exports from the lower Navigator,
and then clicking Add on the NFS Exports panel.)
On the File Share window, select the file system to be exported, select NFS as the file sharing
protocol, and enter the export path.
