NFS datasets

Create an NFS dataset by filling in:

Verify dataset mount

To verify the dataset is mounted in the container, launch a workload after configuring the dataset and check the path /home/aac/shared/user/.

When datasets apply

Datasets are mounted only for new workload runs after you have configured the dataset.
