Explain the NFS server daemons.

By
62.Explain the NFS server daemons.
Ans.
NFS server needs following daemons:
1. /sbin/rpc.lockd
It starts kernel’s lock manager.

 2. /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd
It processes nfs client’s mount requests.

 3. /usr/portmap
It allows client’s to discover services available on the NFS server.

 4. /sbin/rpc.statd
It manages lock recovery in case of server crash

 5. /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd
It provides all nfs services other than file locking and quotas.

 6. /usr/sbin/rpc.rquotad
It provides NFS client’s quota information of NFS exports.

 7. rpc.gssd
Creates security contexts on RPC clients for exchanging RPC information using SecureRPC (RPCSEC) using GSS.

 8. rpc.svcgssd
Creates security contexts on RPC servers for exchanging RPC information using SecureRPC (RPCSEC) using GSS.

 9. rpc.idmapd
Maps local user and group names to NFSv4 IDs (and vice versa).

 10. To start the NFS services there are two commands as follows:
#service nfs start
#/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs.start

 11. The startup scripts starts eight copies of nfsd to enable the server to process multiple request simultaneously. If user wants to change this value then edit /etc/sysconfig/nfs and add a line as follow:
RPSNFDCOUNT =n
n will be replaced by the number of nfsd process according to user.
Example:
#cat>/etc/sysconfig/nfs
RPSNFDCOUNT = 16

Explain process of setting up a NIC (Network interface card).

By
44.Explain process of setting up a NIC (Network interface card). Ans. 1. Network interface card (NIC) can be set-up by configuring the network card and internal network. 2. Before configuring network card we must check loopback (IP address 127.0.0.1) is working. 3. Even if the compute is not connected to outside network internet network configuration is required for some applications. This address is known as loopback device, and its IP address is 127.0.0.1 4. To check loopback device is configured or not, we use ‘ifconfig’ command it shows a device called ‘lo’ with the address 127.0.0.1, if this device and address is not shown there then loopback is not configured. 5. To configure it we can use command ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 after that we need to use the ‘route’ command to give system a little more information about this interface for this ‘route add –net 127.0.0.0’ command is used, after this loopback is setup. 6. To configure a network card we will use ifconfig co...
