To create Network File System (NFS) In AWS

Introduction:

A Network File System (NFS) is a distributed file system protocol that supports remote hosts to mount file systems through the network and also interact with the file systems as though they are mounted sectionally. This allows system administrators to connect resources onto centralized servers on the network.

Steps to create NFS:

Log into your AWS account: Choose EC2 in Management console page to create instance: snap1 Click instance and create new instance: snap2 snap3 snap4 snap5

snap6 snap7 snap8 Select the existing security group: snap9 snap10 snap11 snap12 snap13 Then click the EFS to create a File system: snap14 snap15 snap16 snap17 Connect the EC2 terminal: snap18

snap19 Click attach, to copy the DNS command for the file system: snap21 snap21(1) Run the following commands to mount the NFS storage: snap20 Create a directory: snap22 snap23 The file system were mounted: snap24 We can also mount the file system through IP: snap25 With this method Creation of Network File system (NFS) in AWS comes to an end.

Q

What is NFS in AWS?

A

Network File System (NFS) is a distributed file system protocol that lets users access files over a network similar to the way they access local storage. In this post, we'll take a deep dive into AWS NFS, and show how NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP can address these considerations.

Q

How do NFS permissions work?

A

NFS checks access permissions against user ids (UIDs). The UID of the user on your local machine needs to match the UID of the owner of the files you are trying to access on the server.

Q

What port is NFS?

A

NFS uses port 2049. NFSv3 and NFSv2 use the portmapper service on TCP or UDP port 111.

Q

Where is NFS used?

A

The Network File System (NFS) is a client/server application that lets a computer user view and optionally store and update files on a remote computer as though they were on the user's own computer. The NFS protocol is one of several distributed file system standards for network-attached storage (NAS).

Q

Can Windows use NFS?

A

The NFS client must be enabled on the client Windows system. The Windows 7 operating system can provide an NFS client, but the NFS client service is disabled by default and must be enabled for access to NFS exports from the Storwize V7000 Unified system.
