Changing NFS Settings

These settings affect the way the N1GE “common” directory for the chosen cell name is mounted on all access and compute hosts. The settings are described as follows.

NFS Server Name -- The name of the NFS server from which all compute and access hosts will mount the N1GE “common” directory. When you deploy the master host using GEMM, this parameter is set automatically to the master host. Once you deploy the master host you cannot edit this value and it remains in effect for all further deployments of compute and access hosts. You can only edit the setting again if you uninstall the master host.

NFS Mount Point -- The directory which is mounted from the NFS server for the N1GE “common” directory. When deploying the master host using GEMM, this is set automatically to <SGE_Root>/<SGE_Cell>/common, where <SGE_Root> and <SGE_Cell> are the values specified above. Once you deploy the master host you cannot edit this value and it remains in effect for all further deployments of compute and access hosts. You can only edit the setting again if you uninstall the master host.

Linux NFS Mount Options -- This setting is the options used when mounting the “common” directory onto a Linux compute or access host. The value in this field is inserted into the Linux /etc/fstab file on each host as:

<Servername>:<Mountpoint> <Mountpoint> nfs <Mountoptions> 0 0

where <Servername> and <Mountpoint> are the values specified above and <Mountoptions> are the specified Linux NFS mount options.

This parameter cannot contain any spaces

Solaris NFS Mount Options -- This setting specifies the options used when mounting the “common” directory onto a Solaris compute or access host. The value in this field is inserted into the Solaris /etc/vfstab file on each host as:

<Servername>:<Mountpoint> - <Mountpoint> nfs -yes <Mountoptions>

where <Mountpoint> is the values specified above and <Mountoptions> is the specified Solaris NFS mount options.

This parameter cannot contain any spaces.
