The following example shows how the entries might look for a filer with these interfaces:

255.255.255.145	filer-e0	filer
255.255.255.155	filer-e1

In the first line of the preceding example, the filer host name itself is used as an alias for the first network interface.

You must export the filer’s file systems before clients can mount them.

Use an editor from an NFS or CIFS client to edit the /etc/exports file to export filer directories.

For clients to mount file systems from the filer, you must create entries for the direc- tories exported from the filer in each client’s /etc/fstab or /etc/vfstab file.

After you edit the clients’ /etc/fstab or /etc/vfstab file, the clients mount the file sys- tems automatically when they boot.

To prepare clients to mount the filer’s file systems, perform the following steps:

NOTE: The /vol/vol0/home directory is used as a sample filer directory in this proce- dure. You should use a path that exists on the filer.

1.Create a directory on the client to act as a mount point. For example, /n/filer/ home.

2.To mount the filer’s /vol/vol0/home directory to /n/filer/home, add the following line to the client’s /etc/fstab or /etc/vfstab file:

filername:/vol/vol0/home /n/filer/home nfs rw 0 0

Replace filername with the name of your file.

The file system is mounted when the client reboots.

3.To mount the /vol/vol0/home directory without a client reboot, enter the following command at the client:

mount filername:/vol/vol0/home /n/filer/home
