Installing StorNext Client Software

Once the StorNext software is configured, you can download StorNext client files from the server and install them on StorNext clients. To download client software from a StorNext server, use a supported Web browser. (For a list of supported Web browsers, see Configuring StorNext.)

StorNext client software allows one or more StorNext file systems to be mounted and enables the client to communicate with the StorNext server.

The following procedures provide instructions for installing the StorNext client software in Windows, SGI IRIX, Sun Solaris, Linux (SuSE or Red Hat), IBM AIX, and HP-UX environments.

Note

If you used the optional pre-installation configuration, you must first

perform the steps for adding a user account and a group account on each

 

 

machine that you set up as a client. (To perform these steps, refer to Using

 

the Optional Pre-Installation Configuration on page 13).
