NFS is how we serve files across the CS and cluster subnets, as well as the 10Gb and Infiniband subnets.

This page will also soon contain a pointer to an architecture diagram.

Mount points shared via NFS

CS:

  • Home directories - hosted on Bowie, exported to all user-accessible hosts
  • Archival home directories at /eccs/clients - hosted on Bowie, exported to all user-accessible hosts

Cluster:

  • Home directories - hosted on Hopper, exported to all user-accessible hosts
  • /cluster - hosted on Hopper, exported to all hosts

Allowing NFS in a firewall

Few of our servers run a firewall, but the cluster head nodes do (as of this writing). You want to make sure to allow calls to mount NFS, thusly:

firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=nfs
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=mountd
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=rpc-bind
firewall-cmd --reload
