Configuring NFS
You can configure Network File System (NFS) for Unix and Linux based clients in the Configure > NFS page. Before
you configure NFS, choose Maintenance > Service and click Stop to stop the Storage Optimization Service.
This section includes the following topics:
“Configuration tasks” on page 42
“Editing an NFS configuration” on page 44
“Troubleshooting NFS” on page 45
Configuration tasks
You can configure NFS on the Configure > NFS page.
To configure NFS protocol
1. The NFS page does not appear until the Storage Optimization Service is started. If needed, choose Maintenance >
Service and click Start to initialize the service.
2. Optionally, under Pinned Data Information, slide the indicator along the bar to select the maximum bytes allowed
for share pinning. Share pinning instructs the share to always contain data that is available to the AltaVault locally
without fetching it from the cloud.
3. Optionally, upload the Kerberos keytab file (/etc/krb5.keytab), then upload a valid Kerberos configuration file
(.krb5.conf).
The keytab file is an encrypted, local, on-disk copy of the host's key. The configuration file contains Kerberos
configuration information, including the locations of KDCs (Key Distribution Center) and administration servers
for the Kerberos realms, default parameters for the current realm and for Kerberos applications, and mappings of
host names onto Kerberos realms.
4. Under Add an Export, complete the configuration as described in this table:
Control Description
Add an Export Displays the controls to export an NFS share.
Name Specify the name of the export share.
Export as NFSv4 Specify the type of NFS export. If you select yes, the export will be configured as
NFSv4 export. If you select no, the export will be configured as NFSv3 export.
Kerberos Authentication Kerberos authentication works only with NFSv4 exports. It is optional. If you are not
using Kerberos, AltaVault does not use any other means of authentication for NFSv4
exports.
