Configuring your Application to Use the Media Storage Filesystem
To set up a standard filesystem as media storage:
1 Make sure the disk array or SAN storage is connected to your workstation
and powered up, and that a UNIX-compatible filesystem exists on the
storage. See Partitioning the Storage and Creating the XFS Filesystem
(page 48) for details on formatting your storage array to the
recommended XFS filesystem.
2 Open a terminal and log in as root.
3 Stop Stone and Wire with the command:
/etc/init.d/stone+wire stop
Messages appear in the terminal indicating that Stone and Wire is
stopped.
4 Perform the following steps to create the Managed Media Cache directory:
■ If a mount point for your storage does not exist, create a directory
that will serve as the mount point. For example:
mkdir -p /mnt/StorageMedia
or
mkdir -p /mnt/SAN1
NOTE If you are configuring a direct-attached storage array, the DKU
installer should have already created a mount point for it under
/mnt/StorageMedia (for HP Z800 workstations) or /mnt/stoneMedia (for
older workstations).
WARNING Do not use the word “stonefs” as the name for your mount
point directory. “Stonefs” is a reserved word, and can create issues if
used as the mount point directory name.
■ Mount the filesystem to the newly created directory. For example:
mount -av -t xfs -o rw,noatime,inode64 /dev/vg00/lvol1
/mnt/StorageMedia
Type man mount in a terminal for more information on mounting
filesystems.
