2Installing StorNext File System
This chapter describes how to install StorNext File System (SNFS) on a
metadata controller (MDC). Install SNFS to create data sets that can be
shared by clients and applications running on multiple operating
systems.
To ensure successful operation, do the following tasks before installing
StorNext:
• Make sure the MDC meets all operating system and hardware
requirements (see
File System Requirements).
• Make sure all storage devices are correctly configured and are visible
to the MDC (see
Getting Ready to Install on page 21).
When you are ready, install StorNext File System on the MDC using the
appropriate method for your operating system (see
Installing StorNext
File System on Linux or Unix on page 24 or Installing StorNext File
System on Windows on page 27).
Note: To install both StorNext File System and StorNext Storage
Manager, see
Chapter 1, “Installing StorNext File System and
Storage Manager.” To install the StorNext client software, see
Chapter 3, “Installing the StorNext Client.”
