The tables in this section list the file system protocols that are compatible with
OneFS.
NFS
OneFS supports the Network File System (NFS) and Server Message Block (SMB) file system protocols. For information about how to configure NFS and SMB for
OneFS, see the
OneFS Administration Guide on the
OneFS Info Hub for your
OneFS version.
NOTE:Where provided, an exact
OneFS version number indicates the minimum version of
OneFS that is required.
NFS is a client and server application that lets users view and optionally store and update files on a network as if the files were saved in a local file directory. The NFS protocol is independent of the system, operating system, network architecture, and transport protocol.
NOTE:The NFSoRDMA feature requires that you have the Node Firmware Package (NFP) version 11.6.1 that is installed on your cluster, and the following patch for your version of OneFS:
OneFS 9.7.x.x - no patch required
OneFS 9.6.x.x - not supported
OneFS 9.5.0.x - no patch required
OneFS 9.4 - patch 9.4.0.5 or later
OneFS 9.3 - patch 9.3.0.8 or later
OneFS 9.2.1 - patch 9.2.1.15 or later
SMB
Windows systems use the SMB Internet protocol to share files, printers, and serial ports.
NOTE:SMB1 is disabled by default while upgrading from a previous version of 9.6 to 9.6 or higher OneFS versions.
S3
S3, or Simple Storage Service, is a block-based access protocol that is optimized for database storage. S3 is a web-based protocol using standard HTTPS and a RESTful API.
