This section tells how to set up NFS shares for secondary and (optionally) primary storage on an NFS server running on a separate node from the Management Server. The exact commands for the following steps may vary depending on your operating system version. (KVM only) Ensure that no volume is already mounted at your NFS mount point. On the storage server, create an NFS share for secondary storage and, if you are using NFS for primary storage as well, create a second NFS share. For example: # mkdir -p /export/primary # mkdir -p /export/secondary To configure the new directories as NFS exports, edit /etc/exports. Export the NFS share(s) with rw,async,no_root_squash. For example: # vi /etc/exports Insert the following line. /export *(rw,async,no_root_squash) Export the /export directory. # exportfs -a On the management server, create a mount point for secondary storage. For example: # mkdir -p /mnt/secondary Mount the secondary storage on your Management Server. Replace the example NFS server name and NFS share paths below with your own. # mount -t nfs nfsservername:/nfs/share/secondary /mnt/secondary
