Chapter 3 Installing the StorNext Client

Installing the StorNext Client on Linux or Unix

To run the StorNext client software on HP-UX, first install the client software package, and then configure the client.

1Log on to the client system as root.

2Change to the directory where the client software archive file you downloaded from the MDC is located.

3Extract the software archive file. At the command prompt, type: tar xf <archive name>

where <archive name> is the name of the software archive file you downloaded from the MDC.

4List the packages extracted from the software archive file. At the command prompt, type:

ls -l

Identify the correct package to install. The correct package begins with snfs-clientand ends with the .depot file name extension.

5Install the client software package. At the command prompt, type: swinstall -s <package path and name> -x mount_all_filesystems=false \*

where <package path and name> is the full path and name of the client software package you identified in step 4.

6Edit 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
