Chapter 3 Installing the StorNext Client

Installing the StorNext Client on Linux or Unix

7Edit the /usr/cvfs/config/fsnameservers text file to contain the IP address of the MDC the client will connect to.

The fsnameservers file on the client must be exactly the same as on the MDC. If the fsnameservers file does not exist, use a text editor to create it.

Note: The fsnameservers file only needs to contain the name of the MDC. For example, if the MDC is named snserver, then the fsnameservers file should contain a single line with a single word: snserver

8Create a mount point for the file system. At the command prompt, type:

mkdir -p<mount point> chmod 777 <mount point>

where <mount point> is the directory path where you want the file system to be mounted. For example: /stornext/snfs1

9Configure the file system to automatically mount after reboot. To do this, edit the /etc/vfstab file so that it contains the following line:

<file system> - <mount point> cvfs 0 auto rw

where <file system> is the name of the StorNext file system and <mount point> is the directory path created in step 8.

10Reboot the client system.

After reboot, the StorNext file system is mounted at the mount point you specified.

Note: To manually mount a file system, at the command prompt type:

mount -F cvfs <file system> <mount point>

where <file system> is the name of the StorNext file system and <mount point> is the directory path where you want the file system to be mounted.
