Adding a File System Client

Use this procedure to add a file system client using the CLI.

Install StorNext as described in the StorNext Installation Guide. Follow 

the instructions that pertain to your operating system.

Copy the example fsnameservers file to the config directory by 

typing:

cp /usr/cvfs/examples/fsnameservers.example /usr/cvfs/config/
fsnameservers

Edit the /etc/fstab file to mount on boot (for Solaris, edit the /etc/
vfstab

 file).

Reboot the machine.

Verify that the system has mounted by typing the following:

df -k

If your machine did not mount on boot, refer to “Resolving 

Installation Problems” in the StorNext Installation Guide.

The fsnameservers file must be the same on all 

machines.
