Mounting NFS for the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric to file system on a Cluster Node

You can automatically or manually mount NFS for the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric to the file system on a cluster node.

NOTE
The procedure works only on nodes where NFS service is installed.

Automatically Mount

ATTENTION
The root user must not be the owner of the /mapr mount point.
Use this procedure to automatically mount NFS for the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric to file system on the cluster my.cluster.com at the /mapr mount point.
  1. Set up the mount point by creating the directory.
    sudo mkdir /mapr

  2. Run the chown command to change the owner of the /mapr mount point. 

    sudo chown <user ID of Data Fabric user>:<group ID of Data Fabric user> /mapr
  3. Add the following line to /opt/mapr/conf/mapr_fstab: 
    <hostname>:/mapr /mapr hard,nolock
    NOTE
    The change to /opt/mapr/conf/mapr_fstab will not take effect until Warden is restarted.
    Every time your system is rebooted, the mount point is automatically re-established according to the mapr_fstab configuration file.

Manually Mount

Use this procedure to manually mount NFS for the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric to file system on the cluster my.cluster.com at the /mapr mount point.

  1. Set up a mount point for a NFS for the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric share. 
    sudo mkdir /mapr
  2. Mount the cluster via NFS for the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric.

    NOTE
