Optional. Install an NFS server

The Container Deployment Foundation requires an NFS server. You can either use the master node as the NFS server or you can set up a separate NFS server. The latter is recommended for production environments.

If you want to use the master node as the NFS server instead, skip this step and go to Install ITOM CDF on the (first) master node.

To install a dedicated NFS server, you can use any operating system that provides NFS. Additionally, the NFS server must meet the following hardware requirements: 16 GB RAM, 8 CPU cores, and 100 GB free disk space.
