Chapter 7. Accessing Data - Setting Up Clients
Red Hat Storage volumes can be accessed using a number of technologies:
- Native Client (see Section 7.2, “Native Client”)
- Network File System (NFS) v3 (see Section 7.3, “NFS”)
- Server Message Block (SMB) (see Section 7.4, “SMB”)
Cross Protocol Data Access
Although a Red Hat Storage trusted pool can be configured to support multiple protocols simultaneously, a single volume cannot be freely accessed by different protocols due to differences in locking semantics. The table below defines which protocols can safely access the same volume concurrently.
SMB | NFS | Native Client | Object | |
---|---|---|---|---|
SMB | Yes | No | No | No |
NFS | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Native Client | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Object | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
7.1. Securing Red Hat Storage Client Access
Red Hat Storage Server uses the listed ports. Ensure that firewall settings do not prevent access to these ports.
Port Number | Usage |
---|---|
22 | For sshd used by geo-replication. |
111 | For rpc port mapper. |
139 | For netbios service. |
445 | For CIFS protocol. |
965 | For NLM. |
2049 | For glusterFS's NFS exports (nfsd process). |
24007 | For glusterd (for management). |
24008 | For glusterd (RDMA port for management) |
24009 - 24108 | For client communication with Red Hat Storage 2.0. |
