About NFS file sharing
The Network File System (NFS) protocol enables exported directories (including all files under the directory that reside on the exported directory's file system) hosted by an NFS server to be accessed by multiple UNIX and Linux client systems.
Using NFS, a local system can mount and use a disk partition or a file system from a remote system (an NFS server), as if it were local. The Access Appliance NFS server exports a directory, with selected permissions and options, and makes it available to NFS clients.
The selected permissions and options can also be updated, by adding or removing permissions, to restrict or expand the permitted use.
The Access Appliance NFS service is clustered. The NFS clients continuously retry during a failover transition. Even if the TCP connection is broken for a short time, the failover is transparent to NFS clients, and NFS clients regain access transparently as soon as the failover is complete.
