Nfs Configuration in RHEL7

what is nfs?

NFS is a network file system where we can share a file and directories into a network. It is a network-attached storage device to allow multiple clients to share and access the files and directories.

Configuration of NFS in red hat 7

we have to take two machine
server=192.168.50.11
client=192.168.50.12

Note:Both the machine connected or ping each other

yum install nfs* -y
mkdir /myshare
chmod 777 /myshare
cd /myshare
touch file1 file2 file3
vim /etc/exports (it is a configuration file of nfs )
/myshare *.example.com(rw,sync)
or
/myshare 192.168.50.0/24(rw,sync)

In above you can give hostname or ipaddress
systemctl enable nfs
systemctl start nfs
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service={nfs,mountd,rpc-bind}
firewall-cmd --rel
exportfs -rav

nfs configuration in client side

yum install nfs-utils -y
