Setup guide
DescriptionAttribute
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>
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
This attribute is optional. It allows you to link all of the hosts in the group to a single operating
system. You can then use a platform rule to map all the hosts in a group to the same mount
point. The os attribute is restricted to the following values: Linux, Windows NT, and MacOSX.
os
Example:
<group name=“Autodesk_Stations” os=”Linux”>
