Chapter 4
4Configuring StorNext
This chapter describes how to configure StorNext after installation. To
configure StorNext, enter license information and create one or more file
systems. In addition, on metadata controllers (MDCs) running StorNext
Storage Manager, you can add storage devices and media, create storage
policies, and set up e-mail notifications. In addition, Linux or Windows
SAN clients can be configured as a distributed LAN client or a distributed
LAN server.
For system running Unix or Linux, use the web-based GUI (graphical
user interface) to access StorNext running on an MDC (see
StorNext
GUI).
The first time you log on to StorNext, the Configuration Wizard appears.
The wizard guides you through the process of setting up StorNext (see
Configuration Wizard on page 62).
To configure a StorNext client as a distributed LAN client or server, edit
the distributed LAN configuration file (see
Configuring a Distributed
LAN Client Server on page 67).
For systems running Windows, use the Windows-based configuration
utilities to set up server and client features (see
Windows Configuration
Utilities on page 72).
