Configure StorNext FS Software on Solaris

To configure the StorNext FS software on a Solaris 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 and renaming it.

#cd/usr/cvfs/config

#cp ../examples/example.cfg ./<file_system>.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 the example configuration 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.
