Sun NFS version 2 protocols, the Sun NFS version 3 protocols, and the WebNFS protocols<br />

over TCP/IP network.<br />

The z/<strong>OS</strong> NFS server acts as an intermediary to read, write, create, or delete z/<strong>OS</strong> UNIX files<br />

and MVS data sets that are maintained on an MVS host system. The remote MVS data sets<br />

or z/<strong>OS</strong> UNIX files are mounted from the host processor to appear as local directories and<br />

files on the client system.<br />

This server makes the strengths <strong>of</strong> a z/<strong>OS</strong> host processor—storage management,<br />

high-performance disk storage, security, and centralized data—available to the client<br />

platforms.<br />

With the NFS client you can allow basic sequential access method (BSAM), queued<br />

sequential access method (QSAM), virtual storage access method (VSAM), and z/<strong>OS</strong> UNIX<br />

users and applications transparent access to data on systems that support the Sun NFS<br />

version 2 protocols and the Sun NFS version 3 protocols.<br />

The Network File <strong>System</strong> can be used for:<br />

► File sharing between platforms<br />

► File serving (as a data repository)<br />

Supported clients for the NFS server<br />

The z/<strong>OS</strong> NFS client supports all servers that implement the server portion <strong>of</strong> the Sun NFS<br />

Version 2 and Version 3 protocols. The z/<strong>OS</strong> NFS client does not support NFS version 4.<br />

Tested clients for the z/<strong>OS</strong> NFS server, using the NFS version 4 protocol, are:<br />

► <strong>IBM</strong> RS/6000® AIX version 5.3<br />

► Sun Solaris version 10<br />

► Enterprise Linux® 4<br />

► Windows® 2000/XP with Hummingbird Maestro 9 and Maestro 10<br />

Other client platforms should work as well because NFS version 4 is an industry standard<br />

protocol, but they have not been tested by <strong>IBM</strong>.<br />

NFS client s<strong>of</strong>tware for other <strong>IBM</strong> platforms is available from other vendors. You can also<br />

access the NFS server from non-<strong>IBM</strong> clients that use the NFS version 2 or version 3 protocol,<br />

including:<br />

► DEC stations running DEC ULTRIX version 4.4<br />

► HP 9000 workstations running HP/UX version 10.20<br />

► Sun PC-NFS version 5<br />

► Sun workstations running Sun<strong>OS</strong> or Sun Solaris versions 2.5.3<br />
