Mounting the NFS Storage for Backup Polling

When you use backup polling, you must mount the Network File System (NFS) directory that stores backups for this protected database. Ensure that the path is accessible

Use the following steps to mount the polling location directory on the Recovery Appliance database nodes:

As the root, create the directory that will be used as the polling location.
```
# mkdir /polling_import
```
As root, mount the polling location using the following command:
```
# mount -o options nfs_server_name:nfs_directory_name directory
```
where options represent the NFS mount options, nfs_server_name is the host name of the NFS server, directory_name is the directory on the NFS server, and directory is the mount point directory.

The following example attaches the /backup/bkp_db_imp directory on the NFS server myNFShost at the directory polling_import:
```
# mount -o rw,hard,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,tcp,vers=3,timeo=600,actimeo=0
  myNFShost:/backup/bkp_db_imp/source_bkp_dir /polling_import
```
Ensure that the oracle user has read permission for the mounted directory.
