To create a Unity NFS file system, perform the following steps in Unisphere:
Note: Do not use file-level retention (FLR) on a file system if it will be used by an Oracle database. FLR prevents the modification or deletion of locked files until a specified retention date is reached. When the retention date is reached, the files on the file system can either be deleted or relocked. The files cannot be modified or changed to append only. This type of FLR is known as Write Once, Read Many (WORM).
Note: Click Show NFS advanced settings. Make sure the checkbox Allow SUID is selected.
Note: By default, the file system will be exported so that all NFS clients can see it. If the file system should be restricted to certain NFS clients, select +ADD HOST, then add the list of NFS clients where the NFS file system access is allowed. Then, select Next.
