Client Configuration

Step 5 Initialize StorNext FS. Enter:

# cd /usr/cvfs/bin/cvmkfs <file_system_name>

This step cannot be undone and all data on the file system will be CAUTION lost, so make sure you are ready to initialize the file system before

you proceed.

Step 6 Create the fsmlist file. Enter:

#cd /usr/cvfs/config

#cp ../examples/fsmlist.example ./fsmlist

Step 7 Edit /usr/cvfs/config/fsmlist so that it contains the names of all StorNext File Systems.

Step 1 Create the fsnameservers file by copying /usr/cvfs/examples/ fsnameservers.example and renaming it. Enter:

#cd /usr/cvfs/config

#cp ../examples/fsnameservers.example ./fsnameservers

Step 2 Edit /usr/cvfs/config/fsnameservers so that it contains the hostname or

IP address of all StorNext FS servers. This file must be identical across all servers and clients.

Manually start the StorNext FS server. Enter: # /etc/init.d/cvfs start

The StorNext FS service files for the new file system are started and run in the background on the StorNext FS server.
