To automate an NFS server, you must configure the:
- NFS server processes

- Data that will be exported to NFS clients: Using a shared disk for exported data
- Configuring file systems within the same volume group on AIX
- NFS server virtual IP address
Figure 1 shows
the components you must configure in order to automate an NFS server. Figure 1. Components to be configured

As shown in Figure 1, shared disks are required for that
