Setup guide

DescriptionAttribute
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>
You must enter a value for each attribute. See the following table for a
description of the valid values for each attribute.
DescriptionAttribute
Identifies the name of the group. Create a group name of your choosing. Each group
name must be unique.
Use the value of this attribute in a host-to-host rule to map all members of the group
to the same storage mount point.
group name
Identifies the name of a host that is in the group.host name
