Dell EMC Unity™ Family Configuring NFS File Sharing

Create a NAS server for UNIX-only file sharing (NFS)

1. Under Storage, select File > NAS Servers.
2. Select the Add icon.
3. On the General and Interface pages, specify the relevant settings. Note the following:
   • On the General page, the Server name identifies the NAS server. It is not a network name.
   • Optionally select a tenant to associate with the NAS server.
     NOTE Once you create a NAS server that has an associated tenant, you cannot change this association.
   • On the Interface page, optionally select a VLAN. If you selected a tenant on the General page, you must select a VLAN. The list of VLANs represent the VLANs associated with the selected tenant.
4. On the Sharing Protocols page:
   • Select Linux/Unix shares (NFS).
   • Select whether to enable NFSv3, NVSv4, or both.
   • Optionally enable support for Virtual Volumes (vVols).
   • Optionally click Configure secure NFS to enable secure NFS with Kerberos. When you enable secure NFS for a NAS server that supports Unix-only file sharing, you must configure a custom Kerberos realm.
5. On the Unix Directory Service page, configure one of the following directory services (optional unless you are configuring secure NFS):
   • Local files
   • NIS
   • LDAP
   • Local files and NIS
   • Local files and LDAP

   If you configure local files with NIS or LDAP, the system queries the local files first. You can configure LDAP to use anonymous, simple, and Kerberos authentication. You can also configure LDAP with SSL (LDAP Secure) and can enforce the use of a Certificate Authority certificate for authentication.
6. On the DNS page, optionally configure DNS for the NAS server.
7. On the Replication page, optionally select a replication mode and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) for the NAS server.
