This procedure describes the configuration you perform on the NFS server, which must be a separate, non-CMS, customer-provided Linux computer.
  1. On the NFS server, run mkdir /network_server_mt_pt_dir to create the network mount point.
  2. To set permissions, run the following:
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: chmod 755 /network_server_mt_pt_dir
    chown nobody:nobody /network_server_mt_pt_dir
    For example:
    chmod 755 /CUE_NFS_dir
    chown nobody:nobody /CUE_NFS_dir
    1. Later, if you see a Permission denied message and cannot write to the network mount point on the CMS server, run chown nfsnobody:nfsnobody /network_server_mt_pt_dir to set the owner and group to nfsnobody.
  3. Do the following to provide access to other systems:
    1. Run the vi /etc/exports command.
    2. Run /network_server_mt_pt_dir <CMS_FQDN>(rw,sync) to append the network mount point information to the bottom of the file.
      For example: /CUE_NFS_dirtrapper1.dr.avaya.com(rw,sync)
    3. Save the file.
  4. Do the following to configure NFS and portmap to start after a reboot:
    1. Using an administered CMS user ID, run su - root to log in with root privileges.
    2. Run ntsysv at the command line prompt.
    3. Review the list and ensure that the NFS and portmap options are selected.
    4. Press Tab to highlight OK and then press Enter.
  5. Do one of the following:
    • If the NFS service is not running, run the /etc/init.d/nfs start command to start it.
    • If the NFS service is running, run the /etc/init.d/nfs restart command to restart it.
  6. Run service nfs status to verify that the network service is running.
