Network File System (NFS)

Network File System (NFS)

 Network File System (NFS) is a popular distributed filesystem protocol that enables users to mount remote directories on their server. The system lets you leverage storage space in a different location and write onto the same space from multiple servers in an effortless manner.

Lets configure NIC Server

Step 1:

install the NIC 
# yum install ypserver rpcbind

change the domain
# ypdomainname "naveen.in"

edit the network conf as mentioned below
# vi /etc/sysconfig/network
        
                NISDOMAIN="naveen.in"

edit the network conf as mentioned below
# vi /var/yp/securenets

              (netmask)255.255.255.0 192.168.1.0

# /usr/lib64/yp/ypinit -m
       6.1  press ctrl+d
       6.2 y

Step2:
create an new user 
# useradd naveen

# passwd naveen

# cd /var/yp/

# make

# systemctl restart rpcbind ypserv ypxfrd yppasswdd

# iptables -F

NIC client

Step 1:

install the NIC at client Machine
# yum install ypbind rpcbind

change the network configuration as mentioned below
# authconfig-tui

            only enable  * use nic and * use shadow passwords options
              space bar = check or uncheck 
              tab = for next option

              Domain - naveen.in
      server - 192.168.1.179 /server ip address

Step 2:
# ypcat passwd

restart client machine and login with new user name ,user name - naveen and enter password

NFS install on server side 

after creating NIC then install NFS on server side

Step 1:

# yum install nfs-utils

Step 2:

yp # vi /etc/exports

          /home 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync)

yp # systemctl start nfs

yp # iptables -F

NFS client side

# mount -t nfs 192.168.1.179:/home /home

                         note: first /home = export from this location 
                        second /home = here mounting was done
                               192.168.1.179 = server ip address
