Create a data disk in your serverless runtime environment if you have files in NFS
directories that you want to use in the serverless runtime environment without needing to
update all your mappings. This feature works only with the NFS version 4.x
protocol.
Once you mount your NFS location in a data disk, you have access to the following
capabilities:
Flat file support. You can use flat
files from the mounted NFS location in your mappings.
Parameter file support. You can use
parameter files stored in the mounted NFS location. This simplifies migrating
jobs from a Secure Agent group to a serverless runtime environment, since you
don't need to modify your mappings.
When using existing NFS directories as data disks in an Azure serverless runtime environment,
ensure that the user with ID=501 has permissions to read and write from the mount
directory of the NFS storage. User ID 501 is the
cldagnt
user, which
the Azure serverless runtime environment uses to access mounted NFS directories.
If user 501 doesn't exist, create that user and assign the appropriate permissions.
If you have a network firewall that
prevents access to the NFS Server, you must allow access to the NFS Server from the
delegated subnet used to create the Azure serverless runtime environment.
