===NFS===

====Create a user for NFS access====

We are going to create a user for NFS access.  The user name will be "microct".  All access and file permissions from the VMS systems will correspond to this user.

Using Workgroup Manager.

* Click the New User button.
* On the Basic tab, set the name to microct.  Note the UID (in this case it was 1027).  Deselect the checkbox Access Account.  We don't intend to allow the user microct to log in, as it is not a real user.
* On the Groups tab, make sure that the primary group is Staff (this is the default).
* On the Home tab select None.
* Click Save.

====Set up NFS Service====

Using Server Admin:

* Settings -> Services -> Check NFS
* Select File Sharing from the top tab.
* Select Share Points:
* Only volume shared is Data0
* Select Data0, and then select Share Point from the tab bar in the box in the lower right.
* Click Protocol Options button.
* Select the NFS tab.
* Make sure that Export this item is selected and set to Client List.
* Add percy.kin.ucalgary.ca and thomas.kin.ucalgary.ca to the client list.
* Set Mapping to Root to Nobody
* Set Minimum Security to Standard.


====Configuring OpenVMS client====

I used the following documentation:

=====License=====

First enable the license on thomas.  Log into thomas as system.   Then run:

 LICENSE REGISTER UCX-IP-NFS /ISSUER=MONTAGAR /AUTHORIZATION=EDU-807977-808201 /PRODUCER=DEC /UNITS=0 /TERMINATION_DATE=1-OCT-2010 /ACTIVITY=CONSTANT=100 /CHECKSUM=2-LFIC-ENCF-IKOA-EADI

The license needs to be loaded into memory:

 lic load ucx-ip-NFS

I believe that this has to be done on every node.

NOTE: The above instructions didn't actually work.  Instead we attempted to load ALL licenses.  The first step is to convert the long list of LICENSE REGISTER commands to a VMS license file format.  Something like this should do it.  (On a system with sed.  I used OS-X.)

 sed -i .bak -f convert_license.sed license.txt

Where license.txt contains the commands looking like this:

 $ LICENSE REGISTER X500-DIRECTORY-SERVER - 
 /ISSUER=MONTAGAR - 
 /AUTHORIZATION=EDU-807977-808196 - 
 /PRODUCER=DEC - 
 /UNITS=0 - 
 /TERMINATION_DATE=1-OCT-2010  - 
 /ACTIVITY=CONSTANT=100 - 
 /CHECKSUM=2-PDFG-FFGC-OJGH-OHBM 
 $ LICENSE REGISTER VAXCLUSTER - 
 ...

and convert_license.sed has the following commands:

 s/=/ = /g
 s/ - $//g
 s/^\///g
 s/\$ LICENSE REGISTER/PRODUCT_NAME =/g
 /^PRODUCT_NAME/ i\
 \<NEXT\>

Copy license.txt over to the VMS system with FTP, then run:

 @SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE REGISTER DISK1:[MICROCT]LICENSE.TXT

If everything worked, then all the licenses can be loaded with

 lic load

=====Enable NFS client=====

Enable the NFS client as follows:

 @SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$CONFIG

Select option 2 (Client components).  Then select 3 (NFS client).  Then 2 (Enable & Start service on this node).

This must be done on both percy and thomas.

=====Mount the NFS volume=====

As the user "system", start TCPIP with

 TCPIP

Then enter

 MOUNT DNFS1: /HOST="mike.kin.ucalgary.ca" /PATH="Data0" /UID=1027 /GID=20 /USER=microct

Make sure that UID agrees with the actual UID for the user microct on mike.kin.  Similarly GID must match the actual GID for the group staff on mike.kin .  Here /USER=microct refers to the user microct on VMS.

This must be done on both percy and thomas.
