Configuring NFS server to access Data Mover

Lyve Cloud Documentation

Procedure. To configure the source file system:

Configure permission as read-only for the exported source folder on the NFS file server and use no_root_squash command.
Create an NFS mount for the source folder on the Data Mover
Procedure. To create an NFS mount for the source folder:
1. Create a local directory that will be used to mount the file share using lyveinstall user.
  Example
```
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/nas1-data
```
2. Use the vi command to edit the /etc/fstab file or any text editor using the Data Mover portal server's credentials.
3. Define the NFS share at the end of the /etc/fstab file.
  Note
  Insert a tab character between each parameter, and it should appear as one line with no line break defining the NFS share at the end of the /etc/fstab file.
```
sudo vi /etc/fstab
<nfs server name (FQDN)>:<Data Source Path> <Data Source Mount Point Path> nfs defaults,nfsvers=3 0 0
```
  Example
```
sudo vi /etc/fstab
nas2.company.com:</nas2> /mnt/nas1-data nfs defaults,nfsvers=3 0 0
```
4. Use the following command to mount the file share.
```
sudo mount /mnt/nas1-data
```
  The next time the system starts, the folder is mounted automatically.
5. Run the command to verify if the NFS share is mounted successfully.
```
mount –t nfs
```

Configure NFS exports on the NFS server as read and write permission and use no_root_squash.
Mount the NFS folder to a specific location on the Data Mover.
1. Create a local directory to mount the file share using lyveinstall user.
  Example
```
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/nas1-data-restore
```
2. Use the vi command to edit the /etc/fstab file or any text editor using the Data Mover portal server credentials.
3. Defining the NFS share at the end of the /etc/fstab file.
  Note
  Insert a tab character between each parameter, and it should appear as one line with no line break defining the NFS share at the end of the /etc/fstab file.
```
sudo vi /etc/fstab
[sudo] password for lyveinstall:
<nfs server name (FQDN)>:<Data Restore Path> <Data Restore Mount Point Path> nfs defaults,nfsvers=3 0 0
```
  Example
```
sudo vi /etc/fstab
[sudo] password for lyveinstall:
nas2.company.com:</nas2> /mnt/nas1-data-restore nfs defaults,nfsvers=3 0 0
```
4. Use the following command to mount the file share.
```
sudo mount /mnt/nas1-data-restore
```
  The next time the system starts, the folder is mounted automatically.
5. Run the command to verify if the NFS share is mounted successfully.
```
mount –t nfs
```
