Chapter 3 Installing the StorNext Client
Installing the StorNext Client on Linux or Unix
StorNext 3.1.3 Installation Guide 43
5 Install the client software package. At the command prompt, type:
rpm -ivh <package name>
where <package name> is the name of the client software package you
identified in
step 4.
6 Configure the boot order for system services. Do one of the following:
• For Red Hat Linux, at the command prompt, type:
chkconfig --level 3456 cvfs on
• For SUSE Linux Enterprise, at the command prompt, type:
chkconfig -s raw 235
chkconfig -s cvfs 345
7 Edit the /usr/cvfs/config/fsnameservers text file to contain the IP
address of the MDC the client will connect to.
The fsnameservers file on the client must be exactly the same as on
the MDC. If the
fsnameservers file does not exist, use a text editor to
create it.
8 Create a mount point for the file system. At the command prompt,
type:
mkdir -p <mount point>
chmod 777 <mount point>
where <mount point> is the directory path where you want the file
system to be mounted. For example:
/stornext/snfs1
Note: The file that ends with .rpm.md5sum is a checksum file, not
the client software package.
Note: The fsnameservers file only needs to contain the name of
the MDC. For example, if the MDC is named
snserver, then
the
fsnameservers file should contain a single line with a
single word:
snserver
