About This Manual
This manual describes the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) interactive interface that
allows you to configure, control, and monitor the Open System Services (OSS)
implementation of the Network File System (NFS). OSS NFS is a network file server
compatible with the Sun Microsystems NFS, version 2, protocol. NFS clients on remote
hosts can use OSS NFS servers to store and access files on the Compaq NonStop range
of servers.
Intended Audience
Typically, the information provided in this manual is used by operators, system
managers, and system administrators who configure and manage the OSS NFS
subsystem. The commands described here can also be helpful to NFS users who want
information about the files they are using.
How to Use this Manual
This manual contains the following information:
•
Section 1, Introduction, provides an overview of the OSS NFS subsystem and
detailed descriptions of the objects you control using the SCF commands.
•
Section 2, SCF Commands for OSS NFS, describes the syntax of the SCF
commands you use to manage the OSS NFS subsystem and provides considerations
for using each command and examples.
•
Appendix A, SCF Command Summary for OSS NFS, contains a summary of the
syntax of SCF commands.
•
Appendix B, Summary of All SCF Commands, contains a summary of all SCF
commands—general and subsystem-specific.
Where to Go for More Information
This manual provides details about SCF commands as they apply to the OSS NFS
subsystem. If you have not used SCF, you should read the Subsystem Control Facility
(SCF) Reference Manual for D-series information, or the SCF Reference Manual for
G-Series Releases for G-series information.
Before you can begin to operate the OSS NFS subsystem, you must perform some
configuration steps explained in the Open System Services NFS Management and
Operations Guide.
You might also find information in the PTrace Reference Manual helpful.
