Options for Mounting VAST NFS Shares

Overview

---

This guide provides you with instructions on how to manually mount a VAST NFS share or how to configure /etc/fstab for automatic mounting.

Option 1: Manual Mount

---

This option will need to be done every time the server is rebooted.

With Vast Drivers

sudo mount -t nfs -o vers=3,nconnect=32,spread_reads,spread_writes,remoteports=<VAST_NFS_IP_RANGE> VASTIP:/VASTSHARE /localpath_on_server

Without Vast Drivers

sudo mount -t nfs -o vers=3,nconnect=16 VASTIP:/VASTSHARE /localpath_on_server

Verify Mount Is Active

df -h

Option 2: /etc/fstab entry

---

This option is done once and then will auto-mount shares every reboot.

With Vast Drivers

VASTIP:/VASTSHARE /localpath_on_server nfs rw,nconnect=32,nfsvers=3,spread_reads,spread_writes,remoteports=<VAST_NFS_IP_RANGE> 0 0

Without Vast Drivers

VASTIP:/VASTSHARE /localpath_on_server nfs rw,nconnect=16,nfsvers=3 0 0
VASTIP:/data /data nfs rw,nconnect=16,nfsvers=3 0 0

Verify That Entries Were Added Successfully

sudo cat /etc/fstab

Mount New Entries (Only Required the First Time)

sudo mount -a

Verify Mounts Are Active

df -h
