If you purchased a license for the NFS protocol, follow the instructions in this section
to prepare NFS clients to mount file systems from the filer.

When you ran the Setup Wizard or the
setup
command, the filer generated a host
name for each interface by appending the number of the interface to the filer host
name.
For example, the interface name for the first interface on a filer named filer might be
filer-e0
; the second interface might be
filer-e1
.

To configure NFS clients, choose one of the following methods for name resolution:
DNS or NIS
/etc/hosts file

If you use DNS or NIS for name resolution, add an entry in your DNS or NIS databases
for each of the filer interfaces.
The following example shows how the entries might look for a filer with these
interfaces:
255.255.255.145 filer-e0 filer
255.255.255.155 filer-e1
In the first line of the preceding example, the filer host name itself is used as an alias
for the first network interface.

If you use
/etc/hosts
file for name resolution, add an entry in each hosts
/etc/hosts
file
for each of the filer interfaces.
