Identifying the client nodes

After you have configured the server, you must export the custom server information and voice files so they can be mounted on the client nodes. To do this:

  1. Log in as root by typing the command su root
  2. Export the custom server information by typing the following NFS command:
    mknfsexp -d /home/dirTalk/current_dir/ca.local
    -c client1, client2,...clientN

    where client1 through clientN is a comma-separated list of the host names of the client nodes of your single system image.

  3. Export the voice files by typing the following NFS command:
    mknfsexp -d /home/dirTalk/current_dir/voice.local
    -c client1,client2,...clientN

    where client1 through clientN is a comma-separated list of the host names of the client nodes of your single system image.

The mknfsexp command saves the export definition in the /etc/exports file, so that the directories are exported every time the database server starts.

Note: The mknfsexp command shown here is in its simplest form. If you already use NFS on your installation, you might want to specify other flags on this command so that you maintain the integrity of your system. For more information on this command, see the Commands Reference.
