Dialogic IMG - Configure NFS on Red Hat Enterprise Linux

The IMG 2020 runs an NFS client that is configured to retrieve files such as treatments and announcements from a configured NFS server. The procedure explains how to configure the server running Red Hat Enterprise Linux to share .vox/.wav files. There are other shares that can be created such as Call Tracing. They would all be configured similarly.

Note: When installing BDN EMS software, the NFS shares will automatically get configured on that server. The procedure below describes how to set up NFS on a server that NFS is not configured on.

 

Procedure for Red Hat Enterprise Linux

  • On the BDN EMS server open NFS as shown in screen capture below.

  • Before the NFS client opens a screen will ask for the root user password. If server was purchased from Dialogic -or- Red Hat installations instructions from this manual were followed, then the root password is the following:root password = excel2

Otherwise you will need to acquire the root password to the server.

  • To add a new share, select the "+" Add button. Browse to directory that contains the .vox files. In the case of GCEMS server the path is /opt/dialogic/common/treatment/datafiles. See screen capture below.

  • Set Basic permissions to either Read-Only or Read/Write. Read/Write is not necessary but can be set for future use.

  • The Host(s) field is the IP address of the IMG 2020. Below are a few different ways of selecting multiple IMG 2020's

    • Multiple IMG 2020 IP addresses can be added by putting a space between each IP address#* Enter a wild card * character instead of the actual IP address. This will allow any IP address.# Click on the General Options tab. Accept the default value Sync write operations on request.

  • Click on the User Access tab and add a check to theTreat all client users as anonymous usersbox.

  • Add the User ID to the field labeled Local user ID for anonymous users:

  • Add the Group ID to the field labeled Local group ID for anonymous users:

    • The value of the User ID and Group ID is located in the Users Tab and Groups Tab in the User Manager in Linux Red Hat. See screen capture below.

    • The User ID is displayed in the User ID Tab under the dialogic user. Enter that number.

    • The Group ID is displayed in the Group ID Tab under the dialogic user. Enter that number.

  • Duplicate the procedure above to create shares for call tracing and routing/sending. Below is screen capture with NFS configured.
