| <title>Using a Separate NFS Server</title> |
| <para>This section tells how to set up NFS shares for secondary and (optionally) primary storage on an NFS server running on a separate node from the Management Server.</para> |
| <para>The exact commands for the following steps may vary depending on your operating system version.</para> |
| <warning><para>(KVM only) Ensure that no volume is already mounted at your NFS mount point.</para></warning> |
| <orderedlist> |
| <listitem><para>On the storage server, create an NFS share for secondary storage and, if you are using NFS for primary storage as well, create a second NFS share. For example:</para> |
| <programlisting> |
| # mkdir -p /export/primary |
| # mkdir -p /export/secondary |
| </programlisting> |
| </listitem> |
| <listitem><para>To configure the new directories as NFS exports, edit /etc/exports. Export the NFS share(s) with rw,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check. For example:</para> |
| <programlisting># vi /etc/exports</programlisting> |
| <para>Insert the following line.</para> |
| <programlisting>/export *(rw,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)</programlisting> |
| </listitem> |
| <listitem><para>Export the /export directory.</para> |
| <programlisting># exportfs -a</programlisting> |
| </listitem> |
| <listitem><para>On the management server, create a mount point for secondary storage. For example:</para> |
| <programlisting># mkdir -p /mnt/secondary</programlisting> |
| </listitem> |
| <listitem><para>Mount the secondary storage on your Management Server. Replace the example NFS server name and NFS share paths below with your own.</para> |
| <programlisting># mount -t nfs nfsservername:/nfs/share/secondary /mnt/secondary</programlisting> |
| </listitem> |
| </orderedlist> |
