HP 3PAR X9000 File Serving Software (IBRIX) Implementation Guide (QL226-96987, June 2013)

Using NFS
A file system can be exported for NFS using either the StoreAll OS GUI or CLI. The following
section describes general steps and commands that are required to export file system for NFS using
the StoreAll OS CLI.
1. Create a mounted file system on the StoreAll 9300 hosts using the LUNs that are exported to
the StoreAll 9300 from HP 3PAR. See “Mounting a File System” (page 28).
2. Exporting a file system makes local directories available for NFS clients to mount, use the
following command:
# ibrix_exportfs -f FSNAME -h HOSTNAME -p CLIENT1:PATHNAME1,CLIENT2:PATHNAME2,..[-o
"OPTIONS"] [-b]
For example, to export file system fs1 on the hosts eos172s1.vpi.hp.com and
eos172s2.vpi.hp.com with the client 10.30.172.3, issue the following command:
# ibrix_exportfs -f fs1 -h eos172s1.vpi.hp.com,eos172s2.vpi.hp.com -p 10.30.172.3:
/fs1/ -o 'rw'
3. On the NFS client, mount the share using the following command:
# mount -t nfs 10.30.172.2:/fs1/ /home/exportedfs/
You can now access the NFS share via the NFS client.
For more information about these commands, see the HP StoreAll Storage CLI Reference Guide,
which is available on the following HP website:

Using CIFS
The HP StoreAll Server Message Block (SMB) server implementation allows you to create file shares
for data stored on the cluster. The SMB server provides a true Windows experience for Windows
clients. A user accessing a file share on an StoreAll 9300 system will see the same behavior as
on a Windows server.
Before configuring SMB, select an authentication method (either Local Users or Active Directory).
See “Configuring authentication for SMB, FTP, and HTTP” in HP StoreAll Storage File System User
Guide for more information.
To enable file serving nodes to provide SMB services, you will need to configure the resolv.conf
file. On each node, the /etc/resolv.conf file must include a DNS server that can resolve SRV
records for your domain. For example:
# cat /etc/resolv.conf
search mycompany.com
nameserver 192.168.100.132
You can create and manage SMB shares through either the StoreAll OS GUI or CLI. This section
describes the general steps and commands that are required to use the SMB feature using the
StoreAll OS CLI.
