NFSv3/v4 setup & monitoring

NFS(Network File System) is quite common protocol and still in demand, though even if Cluster File System is in popular and becomes familiar with every engineer. For example, it is sometimes necessary to use NFS, when replacing an old and on-premise system composed with NFS server and clients. I've been using NFS v3, but I will try v4 as it use static tcp 2049 port by default, which enables iptables less directives than that of v3.

I'll list how to setup NFS both v3 and v4, and also how to monitor both of them with nagios.

NFSv3

  • connect NFS server using tcp
  • use static ports

NFS Server
  •  install nfs-utils on NFS server and Client
# yum -y install nfs-utils nfs-utils-lib
  • /etc/exports
/usr/local/src  192.168.100.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,sync)
  • /etc/sysconfig/nfs fixing the daemons' ports
LOCKD_TCPPORT=32803
LOCKD_UDPPORT=32769
MOUNTD_PORT=892
STATD_PORT=662 
  • /etc/sysconfig/iptables
-A INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 111 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 662 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 892 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 32803 -j ACCEPT
  • start up iptables
# chkconfig iptables on
# /etc/init.d/iptables start
  • start up the daemons
# for daemons in \
portmap \
nfslock \
nfs ; do
/etc/init.d/$daemons start
done
  • verify the ports are static
# rpcinfo -p

NFSv4

  • install nfs-utils on NFS server and Client

  • /etc/exports
/usr/local/src  192.168.100.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,sync,fsid=0)
  • /etc/idmapd.conf
Note: use the same configuration(idamapd.conf) on both NFS Server and Client.

    It is necessary to disable version 1 and 2 only.

    Next, I'm showing the examples of NFSv3/v4 server and client with nagios-plugins.
