Creating a Host/Path Rule for Host-to-Host Translation
Create a host/path rule to translate the path syntax used by the source workstation (the workstation running
the Wiretap server) to the path syntax used by the destination workstation.
The syntax of the host/path rule is as follows: <map src_host=”<src_host>” src_path=”<src_path>”
dst_host=”<dst_host>” dst_path=”<dst_path> ”>
Enter a value for each attribute. See the following table for a description of the valid values for each attribute.
DescriptionAttribute
The host name or IP address of the workstation to which a client connects.
If you create a group rule for source workstations, the value of this attribute can be the group
name.
src_host
The path to the remote storage as referred to by the source host (or hosts, when mapping a
group).
src_path
The host name or IP address of the client that mounts the same storage referred to by the source,
using a different syntax.
If you create a group rule for destination workstations, the value of this attribute can be the
group name.
dst_host
The path to the remote storage as referred to by the destination host (or hosts, when mapping
a group).
dst_path
Example:
<map src_host=“flame1” src_path=“/CXFS1”
dst_host=“windows1” dst_path=“N:\”>
Setting up a host-to-host translation for every machine in your network is inefficient. If you have many
hosts that will use the same path translation rule, you can set up a group or platform rule. See the sections
that follow.
Creating a Rule for Groups of Hosts
Use the group rule when you have several workstations that will use the same rule to convert the path syntax
of a single source or group of source workstations. This rule is effective in larger installations where numerous
workstations mount storage using identical syntax.
All hosts in a group rule must mount directories using exactly the same syntax.
NOTE Group names must be unique and must not conflict with host names or platform names.
The syntax of the group rule is as follows:
<group name=”<group_name>” os=”<os_name>”>
[<host name=”<host_name>”>]
</group>
