Enabling or disabling the pcnfsd daemon

Purpose of enabling pcnfsd

Enable the pcnfsd daemon if you want the storage system to authenticate PC-NFS users when they try to mount file system paths on the storage system. If you want another computer to authenticate users, you do not need to enable the pcnfsd daemon. Users authenticated by other computers can access file system paths on the storage system just like users authenticated by the storage system.

Prerequisite for enabling the pcnfsd daemon

NFS must be enabled on the storage system before you can enable the pcnfsd daemon.
