Using the Optional Pre-Installation Configuration

StorNext FS requires the user account www to exist in the passwd file, and the group account adic to exist in the group file. During installation, StorNext FS uses a system utility to create these accounts if it cannot find them.

If you want the system utility to create the accounts, skip this section and go to the Installing StorNext FS Software section in this document.

If you prefer to manually add these accounts, use the procedure described below. You must not only perform this procedure for each machine on which you install the StorNext FS software, but also on each machine that you set up as a client (refer to the Installing Client Software section in this document). After you have completed this optional step, continue to the Installing StorNext FS Software section in this document.
