Managing the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric NFS Service
Provides an overview of managing the NFS for theHPE Ezmeral Data Fabric service on a licensed cluster.
The Data Fabric NFS for the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric service lets you access data on a licensed HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric cluster using the NFS protocol:
- Community Edition license: one NFS for the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric node allows you to access your cluster as a standard POSIX-compliant file system.
- Enterprise Edition or Enterprise Database Edition license: multiple NFS servers allow each node to mount its own Data Fabric file system on NFS for the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric enabled with VIPs for high availability (HA) and load balancing.
You can mount the Data Fabric cluster using NFS for the
HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric, and use standard shell scripting
to read and write live data on the cluster. NFS for the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric access to cluster data can be faster than
accessing the same data with the hadoop
commands. To mount the cluster
using NFS for the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric from a client
machine, see Accessing Data with NFS v3.
