The valid file types are:
•
Linear - A file will be opened for writing at the end (appended); this is the default
• Daily - A new file will be created every midnight
By default, the TCP network protocol is used for communications between the CCM appliance and
the NFS server. You may use the Protocol parameter to specify the UDP or TCP protocol.
To enable/disable NFS on the CCM appliance:
1. To enable NFS on the appliance, issue an NFS command with the Enable parameter.
NFS ENABLE [IP=<nfs_server>] [MOUNT=<mount>] [FTYPE=LINEAR|DAILY]
[PROTOCOL=TCP|UDP]
If this is the first time you are enabling NFS on the appliance, you must include the IP address
of the NFS server and a valid mount point. You may also specify the file type and protocol.
You may also use the NFS Enable command to change the current IP address, mount point, file
type or protocol.
The values will be displayed and you will be prompted to confirm.
If a mount operation is not immediately successful, it will be retried every 60 seconds for
approximately 15 minutes. If an existing mount is lost, the CCM appliance will automatically
attempt to restore it.
If an error occurs, the display may include a numeric value and a text message. See NFS Error
Codes and Port Status on page 105 for descriptions.
2. To disable NFS, issue an NFS command with the Disable parameter.
NFS DISABLE
If you later enable NFS again on the appliance, the server address, mount point, file type and
protocol values at the time of disabling will be used if new values are not specified with the
enable command.
For more information, see NFS Command on page 54.
To check the NFS mount status:
Issue a Show NFS command. (You may also issue the NFS Enable command without additional
parameters to verify an existing mount.)
Enabling NFS on the CCM appliance ports
After NFS is successfully enabled on the CCM appliance, you may enable and configure NFS on
the individual ports.
If an error occurs, it may include a numeric value and a text message. See NFS Error Codes and
Port Status on page 105 for descriptions.
NFS filenames
When you enable NFS on one or all ports, you may specify a filename, which must be unique for
each port. If the daily file type was configured with the NFS Enable command, the filename must
