Mounting file shares on z/OS
Use these instructions to connect a z/OS-based IBM Cloud® Compute Instance to a Network File System (NFS) file share.
Before you begin
- If your file share was set up with VPC access mode, verify that the virtual server instance where you want to mount the share is in the same zone as the file share. If the file share was set up with Security group access mode, verify that the virtual server instance is part of the same security group. For more information, see Mount target access modes.
- Confirm that a mount target for the share exists for the VPC that the instance resides in. If a new mount target is needed, follow the instructions in Creating file shares and mount targets.
- Get the mount path of the file share from the mount target. Mount path information can be obtained from the File share details page in the UI, from the CLI, with the API, or Terraform.
