3.6.1 HP PolyServe Matrix Server Administration Guide (T5392-96018, August 2008)

Chapter 9: Configure PSFS Filesystems 113

Specify Mount Path: Mount paths are also known as NTFS junctions,

and allow you to mount another volume in an empty directory on an

NTFS volume. Type the complete pathname (for example, C:\data1).

Matrix Server can create the mount path if it does not already exist on

each server that will mount the filesystem. If necessary, check “Create the

directory if it does not exist.”

You can specify both a drive letter and a mount path for a filesystem;

however, you will need to do this in separate operations.

You can also assign a drive letter or path from the command line:

mx fs assignpath --path <path or driveletter> [--createdir]

The --createdir option creates the mount path if it does not already exist

on each server.

If a server was out of the matrix while the drive assignment was made or

you add a new server to the matrix, you can use the above command to

add the drive assignment to that server.

View Drive Letter or Path Assignments

To view the existing drive letter or path assignment for a filesystem, select

the filesystem on the Filesystems tab, right-click, and then select Query

Assignments. The resulting window lists each server that has mounted

the filesystem and the mount path or drive letter assigned to it.
