On the Archive System (RDR400Y)

To setup a primary NFS disk pool to use for Content Manager OnDemand on the Archive System, follow the steps as described in Setting up an NFS disk pool using the values as shown in the example, such as QUSROND for instance name, 32 for ASP, and so on.

Then, create a backup disk pool using the same values as the primary disk pool, with the exception of selecting Backup instead of Primary for disk pool type.

Next, create or update a Content Manager OnDemand migration policy to use the NFS disk pools. Migration policies are also created by using IBM Navigator for i. More information on migration policies can be found in Migration policies.

Typically, the NFS mounts are done automatically, when required by the Content Manager OnDemand Archive Storage Manager (ASM) to migrate or retrieve data. Message queue QSYSOPR will contain message CPCA1B0 when the NFS mount is performed by ASM. For example:

File system /NFSSTG/YQUSROND/PRIMARY was successfully mounted over 
   directory /QIBM/USERDATA/ONDEMAND/QUSROND/ASMASP32/PRIMARY.

If you need to manually mount the NFS, use the MOUNT command. The mount must be done exactly as it was defined when you created your NFS disk pool. For example:

MOUNT TYPE(*NFS) MFS('rdr400x.rtp.raleigh.ibm.com:/NFSSTG/YQUSROND/PRIMARY') 
   MNTOVRDIR('/QIBM/UserData/OnDemand/QUSROND/ASMASP32/PRIMARY')

If you need to manually unmount the NFS, use the UNMOUNT command, for example:

UNMOUNT TYPE(*NFS) 
   MNTOVRDIR('/QIBM/UserData/OnDemand/QUSROND/ASMASP32/PRIMARY')

To verify that the NFS is mounted, use either of the STATFS or DSPMFSINF commands.

STATFS OBJ('/QIBM/UserData/OnDemand/QUSROND/ASMASP32/PRIMARY')

Output from the STATFS and DSPMFSINF commands will be similar to the following:

                   Display Mounted FS Information
Object . . . . . . . . . . . . : /QIBM/UserData/OnDemand/QUSROND/ASMASP32/PRIMARY
File system type . . . . . . . : Network File System (NFS)
(If File system type . . . . . . . : "root" (/) then the NFS is not mounted)
...
Path of mounted file system . : rdr400x.rtp.raleigh.ibm.com:/NFSSTG/YQUSROND/PRIMARY
Path mounted over . . . . . . : /QIBM/UserData/OnDemand/QUSROND/ASMASP32/PRIMARY
Protection . . . . . . . . . . : Read-write
...

Note:

The NFS servers do not need to be running on the Archive System.
