Create Mount Point

1. Overview​

After your service provisioning request is approved, you will receive the necessary information to use File Storage on Baremetal. Important notes:

  • Each subnet will have a different endpoint for accessing File Storage data. Before mounting, make sure to carefully check the provided information to avoid configuration errors.

2. User Guide​

A. Using image from FPT AI FACTORY​

Step 1: Create mountpoint on OS

mkdir /mnt/hps

Step 2: Mount File System Replace endpoint 10.101.33.1 with the one provided to you. Mount VAST NFS over TCP

Copymount -o proto=tcp,vers=3 10.101.33.1:/test /mnt/hps
mount -o proto=tcp,vers=3,nconnect=64 10.101.33.1:/mountpoint /mnt/hps

Mount VAST NFS over RDMA

Copymount -o proto=rdma,port=20049,vers=3 10.101.33.1:/mountpoint /mnt/hps
mount -o proto=rdma,port=20049,nconnect=64,vers=3 10.101.33.1:/mountpoint /mnt/hps

Mount Multi-Path RDMA

Copysudo mount -v -o vers=3,proto=rdma,port=20049,spread_reads,spread_writes,nconnect=64,localports=10.101.32.41,remoteports=10.101.33.1-10.101.33.64 10.101.33.1:/test /mnt/hps

Step 3: Configure auto-mount on boot Edit the /etc/fstab file:

Copy# Write followings entries to /etc/fstab
10.101.33.1:/test /mnt/hps nfs vers=3,proto=rdma,port=20049,spread_reads,spread_writes,nconnect=64,localports=10.101.32.41,remoteports=10.101.33.1-10.101.33.64 0 0

Note: Run the following command to verify the mount configuration:

Copymount -a

B. Using a custom Ubuntu OS​

If you're using a custom image, you will need to manually install the VAST Client as follows: Step 1: Install VAST NFS Client

Copyapt update && apt install -y nfs-common dpkg-dev autotools-dev debhelper curl
curl -sSf https://s3-sgn10.fptcloud.com/file-storage-resource/download.sh | bash -s
tar xvf vastnfs-*.tar.xz
cd vastnfs-*/
./build.sh bin
sudo apt install ./dist/*.deb
sudo depmod -a
sudo update-initramfs -u -k $(uname -r)
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nfs-common -y
sudo reboot

Step 2: Create mountpoint on OS

Copy# Create Mount Point
mkdir /mnt/hps

Step 3: Mount File System Replace endpoint 10.101.33.1 with the one provided to you. Mount VAST NFS over TCP

Copymount -o proto=tcp,vers=3 10.101.33.1:/test /mnt/hps
mount -o proto=tcp,vers=3,nconnect=64 10.101.33.1:/mountpoint /mnt/hps

Mount VAST NFS over RDMA

Copymount -o proto=rdma,port=20049,vers=3 10.101.33.1:/mountpoint /mnt/hps
mount -o proto=rdma,port=20049,nconnect=64,vers=3 10.101.33.1:/mountpoint /mnt/hps

Mount Multi-Path RDMA

Copysudo mount -v -o vers=3,proto=rdma,port=20049,spread_reads,spread_writes,nconnect=64,localports=10.101.32.41,remoteports=10.101.33.1-10.101.33.64 10.101.33.1:/test /mnt/hps

Step 4: Configure auto-mount on boot Edit the /etc/fstab file:

Copy## LustreFS ##
# Write followings entries to /etc/fstab
10.101.33.1:/test /mnt/hps nfs vers=3,proto=rdma,port=20049,spread_reads,spread_writes,nconnect=64,localports=10.101.32.41,remoteports=10.101.33.1-10.101.33.64 0 0

Note: Run the following command to verify the mount configuration:

Copymount -a
