configuration issues.

This chapter includes the following topic:

■“Using SunFSD for Mapping Between Solaris and Microsoft Windows”on

page96

This chapter includes instructions for completing the following tasks:

■“How to Enable SunFSD Mapping” on page 96

■“How to Disable SunFSD Mapping” on page 97

The following information is for installing and configuring the supported Microsoft

Windowsserver products (Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003) using

the SunPCi III 3.2.1 software on the Solaris operating environment.

For advanced SunPCi III server support concerning SunPCi III memory,CPUs, and

benchmark information, consult the SunPCi Website:

http://www.sun.com/desktop/products/sunpci

Note – Due to naming conventions, mounting the CD-ROM drive on SunFSD

(\\localhost\cdrom\cdrom0) results in files not being found by certain

applications.

Note – SunFSD does not work with Linux. Youmust use NFS to access Solaris files.
