Polycom 40/0 manual Configure NFS Required, Examples

Software Installation

To set up RealPresence Capture Server in a virtual environment:

1Obtain the RealPresence Capture Server OVA package.

2Deploy the OVA file into the VMware vShpere hosts that you have set up.

If the VMware vSphere host is very busy or it does not match the RealPresence Capture Server hardware requirements, the deployment may fail. See table "Hardware Requirements" for more about hardware requirements.

3From the vSphere client, edit the instance and configure to the customer options.

4Click the Summary tab and note the temporary IP address of RealPresence Capture Server system assigned by DHCP.

5On VMware console, click Edit and adjust the CPU, memory, and the minimum disk space.

Configure NFS (Required)

Capture server virtual edition requires a NFS share as its media storage. The procedure below demonstrates how a NFS share is configured on a typical Linux distribution.

Make sure that NFS is co-located on the same switch/location as the Capture Server system to ensure stable I/0 operations.

To export a shared storage location via NFS on a typical Linux system, CentOS used in below example:

1Make sure the NFS service has been installed and is running.

Examples:

[root@centos-nfs ~]# service nfs status rpc.svcgssd is stopped

rpc.mountd (pid 20129) is running...

nfsd (pid 20194 20193 20192 20191 20190 20189 20188 20187) is running...

rpc.rquotad (pid 20125) is running...

2Edit the NFS configuration file /etc/exports to set the file system paths for export.

Examples:

[root@centos-nfs ~]# cat /etc/exports /home/nfs *(rw,no_root_squash)

/home/nfs_zip_1 192.168.9.78(rw,no_root_squash)
