Set Up the NFS Server

Install and configure an NFS server on AlmaLinux or Ubuntu for Virtual Appliance backups.

1. Run the following commands to install the NFS server.

   AlmaLinux

   CODECopy

   sudo dnf install nfs-utils sudo mkdir -p /mnt/nfs_share sudo chown nobody:nobody /mnt/nfs_share sudo chmod 777 -R /mnt/nfs_share/

   sudo dnf install nfs-utils
   sudo mkdir -p /mnt/nfs_share
   sudo chown nobody:nobody /mnt/nfs_share
   sudo chmod 777 -R /mnt/nfs_share/

   Ubuntu

   CODECopy

   sudo apt install nfs-kernel-server sudo mkdir -p /mnt/nfs_share sudo chown nobody:nogroup /mnt/nfs_share sudo chmod 777 -R /mnt/nfs_share/

   sudo apt install nfs-kernel-server
   sudo mkdir -p /mnt/nfs_share
   sudo chown nobody:nogroup /mnt/nfs_share
   sudo chmod 777 -R /mnt/nfs_share/

2. Configure the NFS exports.
   CODECopy

   /mnt/nfs_share 10.0.203.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash) /mnt/nfs_share 10.0.202.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)

   /mnt/nfs_share 10.0.203.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)
   /mnt/nfs_share 10.0.202.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)

3. Restart the NFS server:
   CODECopy

   sudo systemctl restart nfs-server

   sudo systemctl restart nfs-server

4. Verify the NFS server status:
   CODECopy

   sudo systemctl status nfs-server

   sudo systemctl status nfs-server
