Buffers

the distributed LAN server. (Default: 16)

Server Interfaces

Select the server interface (network interface

 

 

 

card) to use when connecting to distributed

 

 

 

LAN clients. If a network interface has more

 

 

 

than one address configured, you must select

 

 

 

one of the addresses to use for distributed

 

 

 

LAN connections. (For best performance, do

 

 

 

not choose the network used for metadata.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Disk Device Labeler utility lets you configure StorNext File System

Disk Device Labeler

 

storage area network (SAN) disks. Use the Disk Device Labeler to create a

 

 

 

 

list of disk labels, associated device names, and (optional) the sectors to

 

 

use.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: Run the Disk Device Labeler on a system that has visibility to

 

 

all disk devices on the SAN.

 

 

 

 

 

The file system uses the volume labels to determine which disk drives to

 

 

use. The label name written to a disk device must match the disk name

 

 

specified in the Server Configuration utility. For more information, see

 

 

Server Configuration on page 97.
