Managing the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric NFS Service
Provides an overview of managing the NFS for the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric service on a licensed cluster.
The data-fabric NFS for the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric service lets you access data on a licensed HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric cluster using the NFS protocol:
- Community Edition license: one NFS for the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric node allows you to access your cluster as a standard POSIX-compliant filesystem.
- Enterprise Edition or Enterprise Database Edition license: multiple NFS servers allow each node to mount its own data-fabric filesystem on NFS for the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric enabled with VIPs for high availability (HA) and load balancing.
You can mount the data-fabric
cluster using NFS for the HPE Ezmeral
Data Fabric, and use standard shell scripting to read and write live data on the
cluster. NFS for the HPE Ezmeral Data
Fabric access to cluster data can be faster than accessing the same data with the
hadoop
commands. To mount the cluster using NFS for the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric from a client
machine, see Accessing Data with NFS v3.
