Importing the NFS Configuration

Before creating a Cloud Location, the configuration details for the NFS server or servers need to be imported into Anzo. This is a one-time procedure; the configuration that you import is used for all Cloud Locations. Anzo will automatically mount the NFS server to any nodes that are provisioned when applications are deployed.

Create the NFS Configuration File

The NFS configuration details need to be specified in TriG format. The TriG file is imported to Anzo using the Anzo Admin CLI. Use the following contents as a template to create a .trig file on the Anzo server. If you have multiple NFS servers for different regions, you can configure each server in the same configuration file. The objects to supply values for are described below:

@prefix : <http://cambridgesemantics.com/ontologies/cloud/deployment/config#> .
@prefix nfsmountconfig: <http://cambridgesemantics.com/ontologies/CloudDeployment/NFSMountConfiguration/> .
@prefix deployment: <http://cambridgesemantics.com/ontologies/CloudDeployment/> .
@prefix anzo: <http://openanzo.org/ontologies/2008/07/Anzo#> .
@prefix int:  <http://openanzo.org/system/internal/> .
@prefix role: <http://openanzo.org/Role/> .
@prefix reg: <http://cambridgesemantics.com/registries/> .

#Mode:REPLACE
:nfsMountConfig1
{ 
  :nfsMountConfig1 a deployment:NFSMountConfiguration, deployment:MountConfiguration;
     nfsmountconfig:NFSfqdn "NFSfqdn" ;
     nfsmountconfig:NFSMountDir "NFSMountDir" ;
     nfsmountconfig:NFSMountOptions "NFSMountOptions" ;
     nfsmountconfig:NFSSharedDir "NFSSharedDir" .
}
#Mode:ADD
reg:CloudLocation {
   reg:CloudLocation anzo:defaultNamedGraph :nfsMountConfig1
}
# :nfsMountConfig2
# { 
#  :nfsMountConfig2 a deployment:NFSMountConfiguration, deployment:MountConfiguration;
#    nfsmountconfig:NFSfqdn "NFSfqdn2" ;
#    nfsmountconfig:NFSMountDir "NFSMountDir2" ;
#    nfsmountconfig:NFSMountOptions "NFSMountOptions2" ;
#    nfsmountconfig:NFSSharedDir "NFSSharedDir2" .
# }
# Mode:ADD
# reg:CloudLocation {
#   reg:CloudLocation anzo:defaultNamedGraph :nfsMountConfig2
# }

Object	Description
NFSfqdn	The IP address for the NFS server.
NFSMountDir	The NFS mount location on the Anzo server. The same mount location will be used to mount the NFS when dynamic resources are provisioned.
NFSMountOptions	The mount options to use when mounting the NFS.
NFSSharedDir	The NFS directory to share between Anzo and the dynamic resources.

For example:

# nfs-config.trig
@prefix : <http://cambridgesemantics.com/ontologies/cloud/deployment/config#> .
@prefix nfsmountconfig: <http://cambridgesemantics.com/ontologies/CloudDeployment/NFSMountConfiguration/> .
@prefix deployment: <http://cambridgesemantics.com/ontologies/CloudDeployment/> .
@prefix anzo: <http://openanzo.org/ontologies/2008/07/Anzo#> .
@prefix int:  <http://openanzo.org/system/internal/> .
@prefix role: <http://openanzo.org/Role/> .

#Mode:REPLACE
:nfsMountConfig1
{ 
  :nfsMountConfig1 a deployment:NFSMountConfiguration, deployment:MountConfiguration;
    nfsmountconfig:isTransferFiles false ;
    nfsmountconfig:NFSfqdn "10.104.0.6" ;
    nfsmountconfig:NFSMountDir "/private/var/nfsshare_dev" ;
    nfsmountconfig:NFSMountOptions "hard,nfsvers=4.1" ;
    nfsmountconfig:NFSSharedDir "/global/nfs/data" .
}
#Mode:ADD
reg:CloudLocation {
   reg:CloudLocation anzo:defaultNamedGraph :nfsMountConfig1
}

Import the File

Once the NFS configuration file is created, run the following command to import the file to Anzo with the Anzo Admin CLI:

<install_path>/Client/anzo <file_path>/<filename>.trig -u sysadmin --useModes

For example:

/opt/Anzo/Client/anzo import nfs-config.trig -u sysadmin --useModes

When the NFS configuration details have been imported to Anzo, see Creating a Cloud Location for next steps.
