Setting Up StorNext FS on AIX

3-11

To mount StorNext FS:

Step 1 Create the StorNext FS mount directory. For example:

# mkdir /usr/clips

Step 2 Add the uniquely named StorNext FS-managed file system to the /etc/filesystems 

file. Use cvfs as the vfs and file system type. The entry should be similar to this format:

/usr/clips:

dev

= <file_system_name>

 

vfs

= cvfs

 

mount

= true

 

type

= cvfs

 

verbose

= true

 

acount

= false

On startup or reboot of the StorNext FS server, StorNext FS automatically mounts any file 
systems listed in the /etc/filesystems file.

Step 3 Return to Step 1 to repeat this procedure for each StorNext FS client.

After StorNext FS has been mounted on each client, the /usr/clips directory is 
available to store and share data.

NOTE

If you do not want a cvfs mount point in your filesystems file, manually start a 
file system using the cvadmin command. Then, mount the file system using the 
mount command.
