Installing the mapr-loopbacknfs Package

POSIX clients enable application servers, web servers, and other client nodes and applications to read and write directly and securely to a data-fabric cluster.

Consider installing mapr-loopbacknfs if you need a secure POSIX client. You can install the mapr-loopbacknfs client on any client node, even your laptop, if you have Linux installed. A client node must have a supported Linux OS distribution and must be outside the data-fabric cluster, not running mapr-fileserver or other Hadoop services. You cannot install the data-fabric POSIX client on a Windows or Mac OS X machine.

As a POSIX client, mapr-loopbacknfs can use any of the 10 POSIX connections provided by the Basic license. If you need more POSIX client connections, consider upgrading to a Platinum license, as described in Preparing for Installation (HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric POSIX Client).

Attention: Note that the Installer installs mapr-loopbacknfs on all nodes in the cluster when Enable NFS is not specified.

To install mapr-loopbacknfs on your machine, perform the following steps for your version of Linux, as the root user or using sudo. The package is installed to the /usr/local/mapr-loopbacknfs directory.
