STEP 3 Depending on your share privileges, you can begin using the NSS storage.
UNIX and Linux Users
UNIX and Linux users who have a user profile set up can access any shares to which they have privileges on the NSS storage using NFS or FTP.
Accessing the Storage through NFS
UNIX and Linux users can access shares on the NSS through NFS. The NSS3000 only supports NFSv3. For NFS access privileges to work correctly, you must have the NSS joined to an NIS domain.
NOTE You must have root privileges to your client system to create an NFS mount. Before an end user can access the shares on the NSS through NFS, NFS must be enabled on the NSS and the individual share set up to allow NFS access.
STEP 1 Log into the client system as root.
STEP 2 Create a mount point directory for the mount if you do not already have one (e.g., mkdir /mnt/nas_share1).
STEP 3 Mount the NFS share by entering the following:
"mount
The mount point path on the NSS appears in the Shares page located in the configuration interface.
STEP 4 Log out of the root account.
STEP 5 Log into the user account on the client system.
STEP 6 You can now access the share though the mount point directory on your client. You have the share privileges as are defined for the NSS.
