4.5. EXPORTS.DAT PARAMETERS (NFS ACCESS SETUP)
The EXPORTS.DAT file applies to the NFS Server software feature. It defines which network clients are privileged to
mount the Jessica system disk. If EXPORTS.DAT is missing, anyone may NFS mount the Jessica crate. If EXPORTS.DAT
is present, only the hosts listed in EXPORT.DAT may mount the crate. Example exports provided on the template disk are
commented out (i.e., preceded with a # character), and thus have no effect when the file is processed.
A log file (1.2/log/nfs.log) is generated on each system boot. The log summarizes processing of this file, indicating what
has been exported to which user, and any errors encountered in processing the EXPORTS.DAT file.
Export entries are specified in the following form:
directory client_ip
Table 17 - EXPORTS.DAT File Parameters
Parameter Meaning
directory Directory structure(s) to be exported. Must be a fully specified, valid directory on the
Jessica system disk (volume 1.2). Note that directories are case-sensitive.
Specifying the Jessica root directory (1.2/) indicates that the entire volume may be
mounted by the host specified by
client_ip
.
client_ip Internet address of the NFS client permitted to mount
directory
, specified in dotted-
decimal notation. If no address is specified, it indicates that any client may mount the
directory.
The following provides some examples of valid export entries in the EXPORTS.DAT file:
#######################################################################
# In the following example, hosts “fallwell” and “hagee” may NFS mount
# the entire Jessica system disk (volume 1.2).
# Host “robertson” may only mount the Jessica activity directory.
# Any host may mount the log directory.
#######################################################################
1.2/ 147.117.37.245 # host name - fallwell
1.2/ 147.117.37.248 # host name - hagee
1.2/ activity 147.117.37.249 # host name - robertson
1.2/log # any client may mount
4.6. ROUTES.DAT PARAMETERS (NFS ACCESS SETUP)
The ROUTES.DAT configuration file specifies network routing paths for the NFS feature to be established at system
boot. Typically, this file will be required only if Jessica is connected to a wide area network, where routers exist between the
unit and other customer host facilities. The template file contains a few example routes, which are commented out (i.e.,
preceded with a # character). If no network routing is required, this file may be omitted, or left unaltered. Table 18 lists the
parameters specified in ROUTES.DAT.
A log file (1.2/log/routes.log) is generated on each system boot. This file contains a summary of successful routing
additions, as well as any errors detected during processing of the ROUTES.DAT file.
