<host_name=“inferno1”>

<host_name=“smoke1”>

<host_name=“lustre1”>

<host_name=“lustre2”>

<host_name=“lustre3”>

</group>

After you have defined a group, you can use the host/path rule to map all the hosts in the group to the same

path by using the group name for either the src_host or dst_host attribute value.

In the following example, all hosts in the Lustre_Windows_Stations group map the Autodesk_Stations storage

path to N:\myclips, a mount point they all share:

<map src_host=“Autodesk_Stations” src_path=“/CXFS1/myclips”

dst_host=“Lustre_Windows_Stations” dst_path=“N:\myclips”>

You can also use a platform rule to map all the hosts in a group to the same destination path based on the

operating system they all run.

In the following example, the platform rule is used to map all Windows users to N:\ when translating /usr/

from a Linux system:

<map src_os=“Linux” src_path=“/usr/”

dst_os=“WindowsNT” dst_path=“N:\”>

Creating a Rule for a Group of Hosts Running on the Same Operating System

The platform rule is similar to the group rule in that the rule is applied to all hosts running the same operating

system.

All hosts running the same operating system must mount directories using exactly the same syntax. For

example, all Windows workstations must mount the NAS on the N:\ mount point to use the same path

translation rule for the NAS.

NOTE Platform names must be unique and must not conflict with host names or group names.

The syntax of the platform rule is as follows:

<map src_os=“<src_os>” src_path=“<src_path> ”

dst_os=“<dst_os>” dst_path=“<dst_path>”>

You must enter a value for each attribute. See the following table for a description of the valid values for

each attribute.

NOTE The src_os and dst_os attributes are restricted to the following values: Linux, WindowsNT, and MacOSX.
