| 1. |
Ensure a mount target is available that's assigned to the VCN and subnet of your choice. Create a mount target if one doesn't exist. Only one mount target can be created per VCN. A mount target can be used for many file systems. Note – the file system and mount target must be in the same compartment when you create an export. |

| 3. |
Create a file system export in the mount target. |

After the file system is exported, on the NFS client, perform these tasks to mount the file system:
-
(If needed) Install NFS client software.
-
Create a mount point.
-
On the client, mount the file system to the mount point.
-
On the client, add whatever files, directories, and data that you want in the file system.
