From a UNIX client running NFS Client version 2 or 3, you must install the files from
the CD to the filer by performing the following steps.
NOTE: An NFS license must be purchased and registered on the filer to proceed. To
register the NFS license, enter the following command from the filer console:
filer>license nfs=
<license number>
where
<license number>
is the provided NFS license.
To access the system files from the CD and install them on the filer, perform the fol-
lowing steps:
1. Mount the filers root file system to a directory on the client. For example, enter:
mount filer:/
/mnt
where /mnt is the directory on the client where you want to mount the filers root
file system.
2. Change the directory to a local temporary directory on the client system. For
example, enter:
FG
/tmp
where /tmp is a local temporary directory on the client.
3. Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive and extract the files, specifying the input
file, output file, and block size. For example, enter:
tar xvf /
CD-ROM_MNT_PT
/ontap/
5_3
/alpha/sysfiles.tar
where CD-ROM_MNT_PT is the name of your CD mount point.
Result: The tar command reports the names of the files that are copied
(tar_image.Z and dell_filer_install).
4. Run the dell_filer_install script with an argument that tells the script where to
install the files; this is the mount point for the filers root directory. You can keep
or delete the
tar
files.
To delete the
tar
files, enter:
./dell_filer_install /
mnt
To keep the
tar
files, enter:
./dell_filer_install -k /
mnt
where /mnt is the directory on the client where you mounted the filers root file
system.
Result: The install script decompresses and extracts files.
5. From the client system, unmount the filers root file system (/) by entering the fol-
lowing commands:
