Enable NFS services for HADR

~ Leo Petrazickis

You might need to enable network file system (NFS) services when configuring the High Availability Disaster Recovery (HADR) or Database Partioning (DPF) DB2 features. For example, with HADR, you might want to set up a slave database that shares a backup with the master database through NFS.

These commands should enable NFS services on most distributions of Linux:

sudo /sbin/chkconfig nfs on
sudo /sbin/chkconfig nfslock on
sudo /sbin/chkconfig rpcgssd on
sudo /sbin/chkconfig rpcidmapd on
sudo /sbin/chkconfig portmap on
sudo /etc/init.d/iptables restart
sudo /etc/init.d/nfslock restart
sudo /etc/init.d/portmap restart
sudo /etc/init.d/nfs restart

Some of the services might not exist on your distribution. Additional steps may be needed.

IBM Smart Business Cloud for Test & Development might be one of the environments where you’d have to do this.
