You can connect to an NFS export using the Microsoft Windows operating system.
See NFS limitations.
To access the share or export, a user must have appropriate POSIX permissions for accessing the path, and ACL authorization to read (r) and execute (x) each directory in the full path of the directory on which the share or export is mounted. If an Storwize V7000 Unified system administrator has disabled the --bypassTraversalCheck option of the chcfg Storwize V7000 Unified CLI command, which is enabled by default, retain the traversal rights ACE entry to ensure that users are able to access the share or export and its subdirectories. For example, to access a share or export mounted at /ibm/mydir/mysubdir/myexport, the above ACLs, at a minimum, must be applied to /ibm, /ibm/mydir, /ibm/mydir/mysubdir and /ibm/mydir/mysubdir/myexport. See Creating shares or exports, Managing authorization and access control lists, and Authorization limitations.
The NFS client must be enabled on the client Windows system. The Windows 7 operating system can provide an NFS client, but the NFS client service is disabled by default, and must be enabled for access to NFS exports from the Storwize V7000 Unified system.
