TeraStation User Manual 99 Accessing from a NFS Client Use the following procedure configure the TeraStation for access from UNIX with NFS. Note: This section is for information only. Unix and NFS are not supported by Buffalo. If you choose to configure your TeraStation this way, it does not void your warranty, but you are on your own for tech support. 1 2 In the Web Admin interface, select [Network] - [NFS] - [NFS Service], and click [Modify Settings]. 2 Click [Save]. Note: · If you use a public folder of the TeraStation set by NFS as a hard drive for VMware ESX/ESXi, it is required to set [NFS Mode] to [Kernel mode] in order to use it (It is set to [User mode] by default). · To set access restrictions by IP addresses, specify a [Network Address] and [Subnet Mask] from the screen above. (e. g. ) To allow access from a client with the IP address 192. 168. 11. xxx: [Network Address]: 192. 168. 11. 0 [Subnet Mask]: 255. 255. 255. 0 xxx can be 1 to 254. Enter 0 (zero) for the [Network Address]. (e. g. ) To allow access from a client with the IP address 192. 168. xxx. xxx: [Network Address]: 192. 168. 0. 0 [Subnet Mask]: 255. 255. 255. 0 xxx can be 1 to 254. Enter 0 (zero) for the [Network Address] 3 4 Click [NFS Folders Setup]. Choose a shared folder. 1 Write down the NFS public path. 5 2 Click [Enable]. 3 Click [Save]. TeraStation User Manual 100 6 7 Click [NFS Client Setup]. Click [Add Client]. 8 1 Type [Target Host Name] and [Target IP Address] of the NFS UNIX client. 2 Click [Save]. 9 The IP address and the hostname of the client are added. Notes: · To remove, check the box next to the hostname and click [Delete Client]. · You may be able to connect via NFS from a computer that is not registered as a client. TeraStation User Manual 101 10 Examples of commands to access a folder on the TeraStation from the NFS client: From Linux: mount -t nfs <IP Address>:<NFS public path for the TeraStation><the mounting point on the local computer> (e. g. ) mkdir /mnt/tsxl mount -t nfs 192. 168. 11. 10:/mnt/array1/share /mnt/tsxl In this example, TeraStation's IP address is "192. 168. 11. 10", NFS publishing path is "/mnt/array1/share", and a mount point on the local computer is "/mnt/tsxl". From Windows Services for Unix 3. 5: mount <IP Address>:<NFS publishing path for the TeraStation> <a network drive's letter (an error occurs if not available)> (e. g. ) mount 192. 168. 11. 10:/mnt/array1/share z: In this example, TeraStation's IP address is "192. 168. 11. 10", NFS publishing path is "/mnt/array1/share", and a network drive letter is "z". From Solaris10: mount -<F nfs IP Address>:<NFS publishing path for the TeraStation><the mounting point on the local computer> (e. g. ) mkdir /mnt/tsxl mount -F nfs 192. 168. 11. 10:/mnt/array1/share /mnt/tsxl In this example, TeraStation's IP address is "192. 168. 11. 10", NFS publishing path is "/mnt/array1/share", and a mount point on the local computer is "/mnt/tsxl". Notes: · Settings on the NFS Client will be applied to file access. However, if you write on root, uid and gid for all will be 99. · You cannot unify the uid and gid for user management on the TeraStation and for the users on NFS clients. · Root (admin) rights are required to perform the mount operation. · If you mount as root for other users, each user will need access rights for the mount point. [. . . ] RAID 1 and RAID 5 are well-known levels. Replication This copies exactly same data SMB (Server Message Block) The protocol to provide services such as file sharing and printer sharing. Subnet mask The value to divide IP address into the network address number and the host address number. This is used for the router to send and receive packets. [. . . ]
