Configure StorNext FS Software on Linux

To configure the StorNext FS software on a Linux machine, you have to configure the software on the StorNext FS server and StorNext FS clients.

Server Configuration

Step 1 Create a StorNext FS-managed file system by copying /usr/cvfs/examples/

example.cfg to /usr/cvfs/config/<file_system_name>.cfg where file_system_name is a unique, descriptive name. For example:

#cd/usr/cvfs/config

#cp ../examples/example.cfg ./projA.cfg

NOTE	The example.cfg file supplied by ADIC contains commented text (entries that
	begin with a #) with descriptions of the various sections and parameters in the file.

Step 2 Edit each configuration file using the following information.

NOTE	For information about editing the configuration file, refer to the man page by
	entering man cvfs_config at a system shell prompt.

DISK TYPE section - Defines valid disk types. A disk type describes a category of disks with a capacity specified in number of sectors. The following parts comprise a disk type:

•The required keyword DiskType preceded by the open bracket symbol ( [ ) and followed by the closed bracket symbol ( ] ).

•On the next line, the required keyword Sectors and the value of sectors, in terms of 512 bytes per sector, for the disk type.

For example:

[DiskType ST31917FC]

Sectors 17780736

SectorSize 512

To obtain the number of sectors and the sector size for each storage device, use the cvlabel -1 command. Multiple entries for DiskTypes can be created to support multiple hard disks and RAID LUNs of different sizes.
