<para>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.</para>

|
<para>The exact commands for the following steps may vary depending on your operating system version.</para>

<warning><para>(KVM only) Ensure that no volume is already mounted at your NFS mount point.</para></warning>

|
<listitem><para>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:</para>
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
# mkdir -p /export/primary
|
|
# mkdir -p /export/secondary
|

</programlisting>

<listitem><para>To configure the new directories as NFS exports, edit /etc/exports. Export the NFS share(s) with rw,async,no_root_squash. For example:</para>
|
|
<programlisting># vi /etc/exports</programlisting>

|
<para>Insert the following line.</para>
