Photon NFS utils

To mount network file system in Photon

Check a remote nfs server

showmount  -e nfs-servername or ip

for example :

showmount -e discus-filer.eng.vmware.com
showmount -e 10.118.100.122

Mount the nfs in Photon full

nfs-utils is installed by default in Photon full, just use it.

mount -t nfs nfs-ServernameOrIp:/exportfolder /mnt/folder

for example :

mount -t nfs discus-filer.eng.vmware.com:/export/filer /mnt/filer
mount -t nfs 10.118.100.122:/export /mnt/export

Mount the nfs in Photon minimal

Nfs-utils is not installed in Photon minimal. So it should be installed by tdnf first.
