Setting Up an NFS Server for Offline Replication

The steps for setting up an NFS server will vary depending on the NFS server type you use. Refer to your NFS server documentation for specific instructions.

1. Identify a server that is network ready and has NFS Services enabled.
2. As root of the NFS server, create a filesystem or share.
3. Set the file permissions to expose the NFS share only to the IP address of the source and target appliances.
4. To encrypt the replication stream, enable on-disk encryption for the NFS share on the NFS server.

   Note -  An exported replication stream is never encrypted by the appliance.

5. Export the share for access by the NFS client.
6. Verify that the filesystem is shared.
