Table 5.3: NFS Command Parameters

Parameter	Description
ENABLE	Enables NFS on the appliance.
IP=<nfs_server>	IP address of the NFS server, in IP dot notation. The NFS server must support NFSv3
	(RFC1813). This parameter is required if NFS is being enabled for the first time.
MOUNT=<mount>	Mount point (subdirectory location) on the NFS server. This parameter is required if
	NFS is being enabled for the first time. The NFS server must be configured to allow
	the CCM appliance to access this file system location.

Linear indicates a file will be opened on the NFS server for writing at the end (appended). Daily indicates a new file will be created on the NFS server every midnight.

FTYPE=LINEARDAILY For either file type, if the file being opened does not already exist, it will be created. If the file already exists, it will be opened for writing at the end (appended).

Default = Linear

Specifies the network protocol to be used between the CCM appliance and the PROTOCOL=TCPUDP NFS server.

Default = TCP

DISABLE Disables NFS on the appliance.

Examples

The following command enables the use of the NFS on the CCM appliance. The NFS server is located at IP address 192.168.52.50, and files will be created under the subdirectory c/ccm_history every midnight.

nfs enable ip=192.168.52.50 mount=c/ccm_history ftype=daily

The following command disables using the NFS feature on the CCM appliance. If NFS is later enabled again without additional parameters, the previously configured values will be used.

nfs disable

NTP Command

The NTP command enables or disables use of the Network Time Protocol on the CCM appliance, and specifies the location of the NTP server that will supply the time to the CCM appliance. For more information, see Updating the Appliance Clock on page 14.

When you enable NTP, you are prompted to confirm or cancel the operation.
