NFS client v.4

Prepare

Operating system: Scientific Linux version 5.6 64 bit

Optimizing the configuration: 

Use minimal operating system installation without firewall.
To verify installed packages use the command 
rpm -qa | grep package_name
Install the following additional packages:
yum -y install wget yum rpm make gcc gcc-c++ tar sed zlib openssl
After the installation is complete, turn off any unnecessary services (like gpm, sendmail, cups, haldaemon, messagebus, pcmcia, anacron, atd) with the following command: 
chkconfig <SERVICE> off

Configure the following settings for the server:

Prepare new hard disk

To export a brand new disk through nfs, the corresponding device in the /dev directory must be find (use the boot log messages from /var/log). Lets assume that the new device is /dev/hdg.
Create the new partition on your disk with the command: fdisk /dev/hdg. Follow the instructions and create one big partition /dev/hdg1.
Format the new partition with the ext3 file system with the following command: mkfs -t ext3 -c /dev/hdg1 ("-c" options search for invalid disk sectors).
Create the new export directory (/srv/nfs) and change the permission to 1777 and mount the partition on it.

The new device will be mounted on boot on the selected directory.

Firewall configuration

configure TCP port 2049 for nfs(how to open port in firewall).
configure TCP port 1111 for portmapper (how to open port in firewall).

administrator's script: prepare.sh

```
 
```
```
#!/bin/bash
```
```
# prepare the nfs client installation
```

# Declare the variables section ------------

# Please insert your actual configuration

# NFS_SERVER_DIR="export directory on nfs server"

# RIGHTS="access mode for export directory on the nfs server"

# from here ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

```
echo `su -`
```
```
NFS_SERVER_DIR="/srv/nfs"
```
```
RIGHTS="755"
```

# till here ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

```
#-> start routine
```
```
mkdir -m ${RIGHTS} ${NFS_SERVER_DIR}
```
```
#<- end routine
```

Install

Install the actual versions of
- nfs-utils
- portmap
- quota
Create the mount directory

administrator's script: install.sh

```
 
```
```
#!/bin/bash
```
```
# install nfs client
```
```
source prepare.sh
```
```
 
```
```
#-> start routine
```
```
echo `su -`
```
```
yum -y install nfs-utils portmap quota
```
```
#<- end routine
```

Configure

Configure the following files for the host access:
Configure the following files for the NFS work:
- used on the NFS client
  - /etc/fstab
  - /etc/auto.master
- used on the NFS client and server
  - /etc/idmapd.conf
  - /etc/gssapi_mech.conf

NFS client should mount the /srv/nfs directory, but some softlinks should point to the /srv/nfs subdirectories. For example:

for all hosts in cluster
/home -> /srv/nfs/home
/software -> /srv/nfs/software

for WNs
/opt/glite-wn -> /srv/nfs/software/glite-wn/
/opt/d-grid -> /srv/nfs/software/vos/
/etc/profile.d/dgrid_env.sh -> /opt/d-grid/etc/profile.d/dgrid_env.sh
/uspace -> /srv/nfs/uspace

for gLite CE
/opt/glite-wn -> /srv/nfs/software/glite-wn/
/opt/d-grid -> /srv/nfs/software/vos/
/etc/profile.d/dgrid_env.sh -> /opt/d-grid/etc/profile.d/dgrid_env.sh
/etc/profile.d/grid-env.sh -> /opt/glite/etc/profile.d/grid-env.sh
/etc/profile.d/grid-env.csh -> /opt/glite/etc/profile.d/grid-env.csh

for Unicore
- /uspace -> /srv/nfs/uspace

administrator's script: configure.sh

```
 
```
```
#!/bin/bash

```
# prepare the nfs client installation
```

# Declare the variables section ------------

# till here ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

```
#-> start routine
```
```
# Configure /etc/sysconfig/nfs
```

# This entry should be "yes" if you are using RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5 (auth=krb5,krb5i, or krb5p)

```
SECURE_NFS="no"
```
```
 
```
```
# Check the /etc/gssapi_mech.conf
```

[[ -f /etc/gssapi_mech.conf ]] && echo "OK" || exit

```
 
```
```
cat << EOF >> /etc/fstab

Proceed

/etc/init.d/portmap - used on the client and server
/etc/init.d/rpcidmapd - required on both client and server
/etc/init.d/rpcgssd - required on the client when RPCSEC_GSS is used

administrator's script: proceed.sh

Initial test

Try to examine the output from the following commands:

rpcinfo -p to check the rpc
netstat -tunap to display the open ports for the applications

administrator's script: test.sh

```
 
```
```
#!/bin/bash
```
```
#-> start routine
```
```
rpcinfo -p
```

Update

The direct way to update or delete the installed nfs rpm software package is to use the yum or rpm.

administrator's script: update.sh

```
 
```
```
#!/bin/bash
```
```
# update
```
```
#-> start routine
```
```
su -c 'yum update nfs-utils'
```
