Open System Services NFS Management and Operations Guide

The SETUP program prompts you for information relating to the host’s environment. SETUP
does much of the preliminary configuration for you by creating these EDIT files:
• A TACL variables-definition file named NFSVARS, containing information from your
responses to SETUP prompts
• A startup file named NFSCOLD
• A warm-start file named NFSWARM
• A shutdown file named NFSSTOP
• A file named NFSCHECK to check the OSS NFS subsystem status
If NonStop TCP/IPv6 is running, the SETUP program also issues a prompt asking if the
OSS NFS subsystem is to be run over NonStop TCP/IPv6. You can also run OSS NFS
over conventional NonStop TCP/IP or Parallel Library TCP/IP or both simultaneously.
(Parallel Library TCP/IP and NonStop TCP/IPv6 cannot coexist on the same system.)
Review the NFSVARS file before either bringing up OSS NFS for the first time, subsequently
stopping OSS NFS using the file NFSSTOP, or restarting OSS NFS using the file
NFSWARM.
SETUP optionally creates template files that can be used with DSM/SCM to install event
templates for both OSS NFS and RPC.
3. To bring up OSS NFS for the first time, run the NFSCOLD file by entering these commands at
TACL prompts:
VOLUME $SYSTEM.NFSCONF
RUN NFSCOLD
A Summary of Manual Configuration Steps
This topic describes what you need to do to set up OSS NFS if the default configuration created
by the OSS NFS SETUP program and started by the NFSCOLD program is not appropriate for
your system. You can either modify the generated configuration or create your own configuration
files. The topics “Configuring the OSS NFS Objects” (page 21) and “Making PCNFSD Exported
Printers Available” (page 22) also conform, in content, to the configurations generated by OSS
NFS SETUP.
To configure and start OSS NFS without using the files NFSCOLD or NFSWARM:
1. Ensure that the QIO subsystem is started. See the QIO Configuration and Management Manual.
2. Ensure that the OSS Monitor and OSS file system root fileset are started. See the edition of
the Open System Services management and operations guide appropriate to your system.
3. Run the port mapper process as described in “Running the Port Mapper Process” (page 20).
4. Run the OSS NFS manager process as described in “Running the OSS NFS Manager Process”
(page 21).
5. Use SCF to configure the OSS NFS objects as described in “Configuring the OSS NFS Objects”
(page 21).
6. Issue START commands for the OSS NFS objects through SCF as described in “Starting the
OSS NFS Objects” (page 22).
7. If needed, configure and run the PCNFSD process as described in “Making PCNFSD Exported
Printers Available” (page 22).
Running the Port Mapper Process
Issue these TACL commands to run the port mapper process over conventional NonStop TCP/IP:
ADD DEFINE =TCPIP^PROCESS^NAME,CLASS MAP,FILE $ZTC0TCPIP^HOST^FILE,CLASS MAP, &
FILE $SYSTEM.ZTCPIP.HOSTS
RUN $SYSTEM.ZRPC.PORTMAP / NAME $ZPM0, NOWAIT/
