Installing the StorNext
Client on HP-UX 3
To run the StorNext client software on HP-UX, first install the client
software package, and then configure the client.
1 Log on to the client system as root.
2 Change to the directory where the client software archive file you
downloaded from the MDC is located.
3 Extract the software archive file. At the command prompt, type:
tar xf <archive name>
where <archive name> is the name of the software archive file you
downloaded from the MDC.
4 List the packages extracted from the software archive file. At the
command prompt, type:
ls -l
Identify the correct package to install. The correct package begins
with
snfs-client and ends with the .depot file name extension.
5 Install the client software package. At the command prompt, type:
swinstall -s <package path and name> -x mount_all_filesystems=false \*
where <package path and name> is the full path and name of the client
software package you identified in
step 4.
6 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.
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
