Shared directory configuration

iPortal and iServer shared directory configuration, when iPortal and iServer are installed on windows and linux respectively, it is recommended that the shared directory be configured on the machine where the iServer server is located. The following section describes in detail how to configure the shared directory:

• Between Windows and Windows
• Mounting NFS between Linux and Linux
• Linux mount Windows Shared Directory

Between Windows and Windows

1. Open File Explorer and locate the folder you want to share. Right-click the folder and select Properties;

2. In the Properties window, select the Sharing tab and click "Advanced Sharing";

3. In the "Advanced Sharing" window, check the "Share this folder" option, you can change the share name, you can also retain the default name;

4. Click "Permissions", select the user or group you want to share with; add accessible windows users and set permissions;

5. Select "Read/Write" or "Read Only" permission;

6. Click the "OK" button to save the settings;

7. In File Explorer, enter \\192.168.15.118 in the address bar of the folder, enter the user name and password set with permission. You can also find your own host name in the network, double click to view the host name, you can view the shared directory information;

Note: 192.168.15.118 is the ip address of the computer.

8. Other windows host to use windows shared directory, open the file explorer, click on this computer, select the top of the mapped network drive, drive select the free disk drive Z:, folder fill in the remote shared directory address;

9. Click Finish and a new disk drive will appear.

Mounting NFS between Linux and Linux

NFS server:

1. Create NFS shared directory

 cd /home/admin/

 mkdir nfsdir

 vi nfsdir/123.json

2. Close SELinux

getenforce

vi /etc/selinux/config

SELINUX=permissive

setenforce 0

getenforce

3. Install NFS

yum install nfs-utils nfs-server rpcbind -y

systemctl start rpcbind

systemctl start nfs-server

4. Configure the shared directory and allow access to host permissions

 vi /etc/exports

• The no_root_squash option allows NFS clients to execute commands as root on NFS shared directories
• The no_subtree_check option disables the NFS server from checking subdirectories of an NFS shared directory to improve performance. However, it also reduces NFS security

5. Check the /etc/exports file for any syntax errors such as missing commas, brackets or quotes. After you have edited the /etc/exports file, use the command "sudo exportfs -r" to apply your changes:

exportfs -r

systemctl restart nfs-server

exportfs -v

6. If the output of the exportfs -v command is empty, it means that the NFS server did not export any shared directory, and you need to check whether NFS is installed and configured correctly

 rpcinfo -p localhost

7. Check the ports used by NFS, and release the ports included in the output when the firewall is turned on

NFS client uses：

1. NFS client needs to install nfs-utils

 yum install nfs-utils -y

2. Mount the NFS shared directory to the local directory：

sudo mount <IP address or host name>:/<shared directory> <local directory>

Among them:

• <IP address or hostname> is the IP address or hostname of the NFS server;
• <shared directory> is the name of the remote shared directory;
• <local directory> is the name of the directory to be mounted on the local computer.

3. Operate in the local directory after successful mounting

Uninstall the NFS shared directory:

 sudo umount <mounted NFS shared directory>

Linux mount Windows Shared Directory

In CentOS, you can use the mount.cifs command to access the Windows shared directory, the specific steps are as follows:

1. Install cifs-utils

 sudo yum install cifs-utils

2. Create a mount directory and create a directory on CentOS that will serve as a mount point for Windows shared directories. For example, you can use the following commands to create a directory:

 sudo mkdir /mnt/windows-share

3. Upload the Windows shared directory, use the following command to mount the Windows shared directory:

 sudo mount -t cifs //10.0.0.135/shareDir /mnt/windows-share -o username=winuser,password=winpass,domain=windomain,nobrl

Among them:

• //10.0.0.135/shareDir is the UNC path to the Windows share directory;
• /mnt/windows-share is the path to the mount point directory;
• username=winuser,password=winpass,domain=windomain are the access credentials and domain name (if any) of the Windows shared directory.
• nobrl is designed to address an issue where sqlit cannot be opened on SMB, potentially affecting UDB.

4. To confirm the mount, use the following command to confirm that the shared directory is mounted:

 df -h

5. To unmount the mounted Windows shared directory, you can use the following command:

 sudo umount /mnt/windows-share
