Chapter 3 Installing the StorNext Client

Installing the StorNext Client on Linux or Unix

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/fstab file so that it contains the following line:

<file system> <mount point> cvfs verbose=yes 0 0

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 -t 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.
