The default value for enabling fabrication is based on the type of StorNext server you are using. On Windows the default is No.

Working with the

fsnameservers File

The SNFS fsnameservers file specifies machines serving as File System Name Server coordinator(s) to the fsmpm daemon. The File System Name Server coordinator is a critical component of the StorNext File System Services (FSS). A principal function of the coordinator is to manage failover voting in a high-availability configuration. Therefore, it is critical to select highly reliable systems as coordinators. Redundancy is provided by listing multiple machine entries in the fsnameservers file, one entry per line. The first machine listed is the primary coordinator and any subsequent machines listed serve as backup coordinators. To create redundancy, it is recommended that you list two machines. Typically, the selected systems are also configured for FSM services, but this is not a requirement.

If the fsnameservers file does not exist, then the file system operates as a local file system, requiring both a client and a server. The file system will not communicate with any other StorNext File System product on the network, thus eliminating the sharing of the FSS over the SAN.
