Chapter 3 Installing the StorNext Client

Installing the StorNext Client on Linux or Unix

Note: The file that ends with .rpm.md5sum is a checksum file, not the client software package.

5Install the client software package. At the command prompt, type: rpm -ivh<package name>

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

6Configure the boot order for system services. Do one of the following:

For Red Hat Linux, at the command prompt, type: chkconfig --level 3456 cvfs on

For SUSE Linux Enterprise, at the command prompt, type: chkconfig -s raw 235

chkconfig -s cvfs 345

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
