How to Share Network File Systems

The NFS targetable component contains information about the file systems being shared via NFS. Because the file systems being shared are stored as a virtual host variable, you can add file systems to be shared after the component has been installed.

The virtual host name will be set to the same value as installPath of the NFS component.

This task calls the system service startNfs which does the following:

• In the default environment, share the file systems by using the UNIX share command.

• In the Sun Cluster environment, call the Sun Cluster scswitch -ej command to start the NFS.

• In the SAP AC environment, it is not applicable.

Steps

1. In the Common Tasks section of the N1 SPS browser interface, click SAP.

2. In the Network File System (NFS) Share section of the SAP Tasks page, click Share.

3. Click Run.

4. Select a target host or target host set.

5. Provide the plan variable.

   Install path of the NFS share component

   This is a required field. If you do not know the install path, return to the SAP Tasks page and click the View All link.

6. Click the Run Plan (Includes Preflight) button.

   The Deployment Results page is displayed. If the plan fails, error messages are displayed.
