Creating a Sample NFS File Share

HP recommends performing the following tests to verify that the setup of the shares, user
mappings, and permissions grant the desired access to the NFS shares.
1. Create an NFS share. NFS Shares are All Machines, read-only by default.
2. Create NFS client groups if desired. See "NFS Client Groups" earlier in this chapter.
3. Verify that the NFS share exists.
4. Map a user. When creating Active Directory/Domain mappings, ensure that the NFS

the file.
See "NFS File Shares" earlier in this chapter for information on creating shares.
Use Remote Desktop to log into the NAS server and access the command line interface:
nfsshare <sharename> (sharename represents the name of the share)
Authentication software is installed on the domain controllers that have user name
mappings. See "Installing NFS Authentication Software on the Domain Controllers and
Active Directory Domain Controllers" section. Also, see "User and Group Mappings" in
this chapter for instructions on setting up user name mappings.
When planning to allow only anonymous access to an NFS share, setting up user name
mappings is not necessary. See the section, "Anonymous Access to an NFS Share" in this
chapter for additional information.
All Machines read write, then the NTFS ACLs on the NFS share must allow read/write
permissions for the user or group.
Example: e:\share1 is the name of the NFS share and share1 has All Machines read write
permissions. Verify that the NTFS permissions on e:\share1 are List Folder/Read Data,
Create File/Write Data, Create Folders/Append Data, Write Attributes, and Delete
Subfolders and Files. This can be verified by opening up Windows Explorer on the NAS
Desktop and right-clicking e:\share1 then clicking Properties. Next, click the Security
tab. Then click Advanced. Highlight the user or group that permissions are being assigned
to then click Edit. There will be check boxes next to the NTFS permissions that are
assigned. Make sure mapped users and groups correlate to the users or groups that have
the NTFS permissions assigned. See the section "Understanding NTFS and UNIX
Permissions" in this chapter for more information.
Use Remote Desktop to log in to the NAS server and access the command line interface:
mapadmin list -all
a. As the root user, mount the share:
mount -t nfs <nfs server IP address:/nfs share> /mount
point
b. Log in as a mapped user.
c. Change directories to the mount-point directory.
