Save and close the configuration file.

Use cvadmin to start the file system by typing the following:

/usr/cvfs/bin/cvadmin
snadmin> start <file_system_name>
snadmin> activate <file_system_name>
snadmin> select <file_system_name>
snadmin> show

Mount the file system by typing the following:

mount -t cvfs <file_system_name> <mount_point>

For example: mount -t cvfs snfs1 /stornext/snfs1

Create an affinity/directory association by typing the following:

/usr/cvfs/bin/cvmkdir -k <affinity_name> <directory_name>

For example: /usr/cvfs/bin/cvmkdir -k data1_aff /stornext/snfs1/
video_data

This associates all data written to /stornext/snfs1/video_data with 

stripe group Data1 and, therefore, disks CvfsDisk2 and CvfsDisk3.

Creating a Disk-to-Disk Policy Class

Use this procedure to create a disk-to-disk-specific policy class. You must 

have at least two affinities configured to create a disk-to-disk policy class.
Before initially executing any StorNext command line programs, you are 

required to source either the .profile or the .cshrc file. This will update the 

user environment with the StorNext environment variables.

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

. /usr/adic/.profile

• For all other shells, type:
