Open System Services NFS Management and Operations Guide

3 Management Environment for OSS NFS
This chapter describes OSS NFS management tools and shows how they fit into the architecture
of the OSS NFS subsystem. It also describes OSS NFS subsystem objects and the commands used
to manipulate them.
OSS NFS Management Introduction
OSS NFS Commands and Responses
The OSS NFS subsystem is managed using SCF commands that affect the operation of subsystem
objects. These commands return responses, event messages, and error messages. The response to
a command indicates either successful completion of the specified action or errors that prevented
completion. Other information can also be included in the response.
Event messages are sent from the OSS NFS subsystem to the EMS event collector ($0). You can
selectively filter the types of event messages displayed, printed, or stored. EMSDIST and the
ViewPoint product can be used to examine EMS log files written by the EMS event collector.
OSS NFS Subsystem Dependencies
The OSS NFS subsystem depends on:
• The configuration of the operating system
• The configuration of the OSS subsystem and OSS fileset
• The security services component of the Safeguard or third-party product such as CA-Unicenter
• NonStop TCP/IP, Parallel Library TCP/IP, or NonStop TCP/IPv6
• The QIO subsystem
• PTrace
• The port mapper component of the ONC RPC product
To effectively manage and troubleshoot the OSS NFS subsystem, you should be familiar with these
facilities. Figure 2 (page 25) illustrates the relationships between OSS NFS and other subsystems.
