Abstract

Much has been written about pNFS (parallelized NFS) and NFSv41, the latest NFS protocol. But practical examples of how to implement NFSv4.1 and pNFS are fragmentary and incomplete. This presentation will take a step-by-step guide to implementation, with a focus on file systems. From client and server selection and preparation, the tutorial will cover key auxiliary protocols like DNS, LDAP and Kerberos.
