Creating a File System Server

The follow procedure describes how to create a file system server using 

the CLI. 
Before initially executing any SNFS command line programs, you are 

required to source either the .profile or the .cshrc file. This updates the 

user environment with the SNFS environment variables.

• If you are running sh, ksh, or bash, type:

. /usr/adic/.profile

• For all other shells, type:

source /usr/adic/.cshrc

Install StorNext as described in the StorNext Installation Guide. Follow 

the instructions that pertain to your operating system.

Create a list of system and FC disks by writing to a file in a format 

recognized by the cvlabel command. Type the following:

/usr/cvfs/bin/cvlabel -c > /usr/cvfs/config/cvlabels

The created file displays an entry for disk located by the /usr/cvfs/bin/
cvlabel

 command.

CvfsDisk_UNKNOWN /dev/sdb # host 4 lun 1 sectors 639570752 ...
CvfsDisk_UNKNOWN /dev/sdc # host 4 lun 2 sectors 639570752 ...
CvfsDisk_UNKNOWN /dev/sdd # host 4 lun 3 sectors 639570752 ... 

Edit the cvlabels file that has a list of all system and FC disks visible 

on the machine. Edit the file to remove all the system disks and any 

FC disks you do not want labeled, as well as FC disks that are already 

labeled.

Do not attempt to perform the procedures in this section 

unless you have completed Quantum’s StorNext training 

and are confident you understand all procedures. (You 

may perform these procedures if Professional Services is 

assisting you.)
