NFS Client for OPEN VMS

Cisco Systems

MultiNet NFS Client allows VMS applications to transparently access filesstored on NFS servers. NFS Client can remote-mount file systems on anysystems having a NFS server. The NFS Client device driver provides astandard file system interface and is called automatically by the normalVMS Record Management Services (RMS).Remote NFS servers supporting full UNIX (NFS) file system semanticsappear to VAX/VMS systems as fully functional File-11 ODS-2 file systems.This includes multiple file versions and arbitrary VMS (RMS) fileattributes. Files created on the server system appear as Stream LF filesto the local VAX/VMS system. Text files created by the local VAX/VMSsystem appear as normal stream files on the server and can, therefore, beshared with applications running on the NFS server and other (includeNonVMS) NFS clients. Other VAX/VMS file types are stored on the NFSserver as raw VMS data blocks (as produced on the VMS system), plusinformation about the VMS (RMS) file attributes are also stored. Thispermits other VAX/VMS clients to access the data if the nonVMS systemsare capable of interpreting the raw VMS data blocks.
