The NFS server software lets you set up file systems on your local system for export to users on remote NFS client hosts. These files and directories, even though they physically reside on the local system, appear to the remote user to be on the remote host. Configuring and managing the NFS server on your OpenVMS host involves the following tasks: o Configuring the NFS server using TCPIP$CONFIG o Configuring the PC-NFS daemon using TCPIP$CONFIG (if you plan to export file systems to PC-NFS client hosts) o Modifying NFS and PC-NFS configuration using management commands o Selecting a file system: OpenVMS or container (UNIX style) o Modifying server and container file system characteristics by defining logical names o Registering users and hosts in the proxy database file o Backing up the file system o Setting up and exporting the file system o Maintaining and examining a container file system o Setting up NFS security features o Improving NFS server performance
