Chapter 3 Installing the StorNext Client
Installing the StorNext Client on Linux or Unix
StorNext 3.1.3 Installation Guide 45
7 Edit 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.
8 Create 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
9 Configure the file system to automatically mount after reboot. To do
this, edit the
/etc/vfstab file so that it contains the following line:
<file system> - <mount point> cvfs 0 auto rw
where <file system> is the name of the StorNext file system and <mount
point>
is the directory path created in step 8.
10 Reboot the client system.
After reboot, the StorNext file system is mounted at the mount point
you specified.
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
Note: To manually mount a file system, at the command prompt
type:
mount -F 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.
