Access Using NFS

From a shell on a client system, use the su command to log in as root and type the following command:

mount -o rw,bg,hard,nointr,tcp,vers=3,timeo= 2,retrans=10,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 <client_access_vip>:/<exported_folder> local_folder

NOTE: The above parameters are the recommended parameters. It is possible to change the protocol from tcp to udp, and the NFS version from 3 to 2.

To allow a UDP connection, you can configure the firewall settings in two primary ways:

Adjust the firewall settings so that the source IP address comes from either of the two controllers and not the client VIP.

Open the port range for UDP to allow ports as follows:

Service Name

FluidFS Port

 

 

portmap

111

Statd

4000 through 4008

Nfs

2049 through 2057

nlm (lock manager)

4050 through 4058

mount

5001 through 5009

quota

5051 through 5059

 

 

For TCP connections, no special settings are needed. Adjust the firewall settings to let any communication pass along the TCP connection.
