Configuring the NFS Service
Complete the following steps on your DHCP server.
1. Determine whether the NFS service package is already installed on the server by
typing the following command:
# rpm -qa | grep nfs-utils
2. If the NFS server package is not listed, insert the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CD 2,
and type the following commands to mount the CD and install the package from
the CD:
# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
# rpm -Uvh /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/nfs-utils-*.rpm
3. Remove the CD from the server after you type the following command:
# umount /dev/cdrom
4. Edit and save the /etc/exports file to add the following line to it:
/home/pxeboot *(no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,insecure)
5. Start the NFS service by typing the following command:
# service nfs start
6. Configure the server to always start the NFS service by typing the following
command:
# chkconfig nfs on
Note – If you are using a DNS server, make sure that DNS entries exist for the range
of addresses defined in the pxe subnet dynamic-bootp entry in the dhcpd.conf
file.
If you are not using a DNS server, edit the /etc/hosts file to add the range of host
addresses found in the pxe subnet dynamic-bootp entry in the dhcpd.conf file.
