VM TCP/IP NFS Server Support
The Network File System (NFS) server support enables access to files
stored on VM's native UNIX* file system (the Byte File System),
the VM Shared File System and CMS minidisks from any platform
with an NFS Client.
NFS server support is packaged with z/VM in all supported releases.
In z/VM Version 3, Release 1.0 (TCP/IP level 3A0) it was
packaged as a separate feature.
How can VM's NFS server support benefit me?
- Keep your data on VM, but use your
BFS, SFS, or minidisk files transparently from any platform that
has an NFS client.
- Data is available across many platforms, without duplication.
- Enjoy all the advantages of keeping your data on VM!
- Automatic, secure facilities to back up and recover data
- System managed storage
- Host access control
- Centralized space administration
Okay, how do I get started?
Interested in ancient history?
See a description of release-to-release NFS changes for
TCP/IP level 420
for z/VM Version 4, Release 2.0 and
TCP/IP level 410
for z/VM Version 4, Release 1.0 and
TCP/IP level 3A0
for z/VM Version 3, Release 1.0 and
TCP/IP level 320
for VM/ESA Version 2, Release 4.0 and
TCP/IP level 310
for VM/ESA Version 2, release 3.0.
With VM/ESA Version 2 Release 3.0,
TCP/IP and the Network File System (NFS) server
feature of TCP/IP became optional priced features of VM/ESA.
Other NFS clients should be able to use our NFS server support,
although mount procedures may differ from those described above.
Have you used NFS clients on other platforms
with our server?
Tell us about them.
