Chapter 4 Configuring StorNext

Windows Configuration Utilities

 

 

The Client Configuration utility lets you view and modify properties for

Client Configuration

 

the StorNext client software. Use the utility to specify mount points and

 

 

 

 

mount options, set various cache settings, and configure a distributed

 

 

LAN server or a distributed LAN client.

 

 

To run the Client Configuration utility, on the Windows Start menu, click

 

 

All Programs > StorNext File System > Client Configuration.

 

 

The Client Configuration utility includes four tabs:

 

 

Mount Point on page 71

 

 

Distributed LAN on page 73

 

 

Advanced Mount Options on page 75

 

 

Advanced Cache Options on page 79

 

 

Click a tab to view or modify StorNext client properties. After making

 

 

changes on one or more tabs, click OK to save the changes. A message

 

 

appears prompting you to restart the system. Click Yes. Most changes do

 

 

not take affect until the system is restarted.

 

 

Mount Point

 

 

StorNext file systems can be mapped to a drive letter or to a folder. When

 

 

mapping to a folder, the folder must be empty or non-existent, and must

 

 

exist within an NTFS file system (e.g., C:\Mount\MySnfs).

 

 

Use the Mount Point tab (figure 37) to specify drive mappings. Table 15

 

 

describes the fields on the Mount Point tab.

 

 

 

 

 

Note: Make sure the host list is the same for all clients on the SAN.

 

 

An incorrect or incomplete host list may prevent the client

 

 

from connecting to the file system.
