RE: NFS and remote image catalogs/saves ?

Nathan,

Your assumption about client NFS participation on the IBMi is correct.

Once your NFS admin authorizes file space for your IBMi client they will give you a share directory to mount a local IFS directory over. Use the command ADDMFS. It's pretty straightforward although I have learned that coded character set is a big headache when you are trying to place certain objects in the mounted file system.

Apparently TAPVRT01 is not support via NFS, just optical only.

Could we step back a bit for those of us who don't have any experience at working with NFS? I understand that mainstream platforms including IBM i can run an NFS service. I see IBM i commands for starting and stopping NFS servers. I understand that stream file APIs can be used against files on remote servers, via NFS.

But how does IBM i act as an NFS client? I suppose the idea is to perform file I/O against a local IFS directory which maps to a remote server, but how do you set that up?
