4.1 Deployment of NFS V4 in general
Deployment of NFS V4 should be planned in such a way that a smooth
implementation and integration into the existing infrastructure can be achieved.
Normally, this is done by:
1. Evaluating the basic conditions for deployment.
2. Defining the architectural design and logical layout.
3. Integrating the design in a sample environment.
4. Defining how the rollout will take place into your infrastructure.
We have attempted to develop a logical approach to the planning process for
implementing NFS V4. Figure 4-1 on page 96 shows a planning flow chart that
we developed and used to build ...
