In the Network File System (NFS) configuration, no files reside on the NFS client instance. All Ingres files reside on the networked DBMS Server instance.

The NFS client instance uses the Network File System to share executables and other Ingres files. The ingmknfs utility, which you use to create and configure NFS clients, creates an NFS admin directory on the DBMS Server instance to store NFS client-related files.
