Figure 2 Relationships Between OSS NFS and Other Subsystems
NOTE: In a multiple conventional NonStop TCP/IP host system, the port mapper, NFSLAN, and
the PCNFSD processes must be configured and running for each NonStop TCP/IP stack to be
supported. However, in a multiple NonStop TCP/IPv6 or Parallel Library TCP/IP host system, only
one port mapper, NFSLAN, and PCNFSD process must be configured and running for the entire
NonStop TCP/IPv6 subsystem.
Using SCF to Manage OSS NFS
The next topics provide an understanding of NFS objects and the commands that can be used to
manipulate them. For detailed reference information on managing OSS NFS objects, see the Open
System Services NFS SCF Reference Manual. For more information about the attributes of OSS
fileset object that are related to NFS, see the Open System Services Management and Operations
Guide.
OSS NFS Object Characteristics
Entities that interoperate under an OSS NFS subsystem are called objects. OSS NFS objects include
persons who use an OSS NFS subsystem, groups of users who are defined to have common interests
and capabilities under OSS NFS, networks through which users communicate with OSS NFS, the
major software components of OSS NFS, and the OSS NFS subsystem itself.
Each OSS NFS object is of a class or type, and each is given its own object name. Each object
type has certain attributes, and some types also have operational states. The next topics discuss
these objects and characteristics in addition to the OSS NFS commands that manipulate them.
