Mount Remote Shares for Virtual Media

Nodegrid supports remote shares (NFS or Windows shares) to contain files shared with Service Processor systems. Before the files can be shared out through the Virtual Media function, the remote share must be mounted to the Nodegrid device.

CLI Procedure

1. Connect to the Nodegrid shell as the root user.
2. Go to /var/firefox/datastore/
3. Create a folder.
4. Use the mount command to mount the remote share to the folder.

To permanently get the share mounted, the mount command can be added to the /etc/fstab file.

Example: NFS mount to folder VirtualMedia

mount -t nfs  192.168.1.1.:/NFS/NG /var/firefox/datastore/VirtualMedia
