If you purchased a license for the NFS protocol, follow the instructions in this section to prepare NFS clients to mount file systems from the filer.

When you ran the Setup Wizard or the setup command, the filer generated a host name for each interface by appending the number of the interface to the filer host name.

For example, the interface name for the first interface on a filer named filer might be filer-e0; the second interface might be filer-e1.

To configure NFS clients, choose one of the following methods for name resolution:

‡DNS or NIS

‡/etc/hosts file

&RQILJXULQJ￿1)6￿&OLHQWV￿8VLQJ￿'16￿RU￿1,6￿ IRU￿1DPH￿5HVROXWLRQ

If you use DNS or NIS for name resolution, add an entry in your DNS or NIS databases for each of the filer interfaces.

The following example shows how the entries might look for a filer with these interfaces:

255.255.255.145	filer-e0	filer
255.255.255.155	filer-e1

In the first line of the preceding example, the filer host name itself is used as an alias for the first network interface.

If you use /etc/hosts file for name resolution, add an entry in each host’s /etc/hosts file for each of the filer interfaces.
