Client Installation
To set up the client part of the client/server version, you need to carry out the
following:
•
Create public folders
•
Edit the client setup script (optional)
•
Install the client version on the client user’s computers
Creating Public
Folders
A public folder can contain discs and launch objects. The
administrator prepares a set of folders and then makes these available
as public folders. When a user selects a public folder, the folder will
appear in the
AXIS StorPoint DISCO
folder on the user’s
computer.
To create a public folder:
1. Click
File | Public Folder Settings
to check the settings for public folders.
2. On the
Public Folders
page, make sure the network path to the public folder
data is specified correctly. The location was specified during the installation.
Note that the location must be reachable from the users’ computers. If you
want to change the path, click
Change
.
3. Click
File | New | Folder
to create a new folder.
4. Specify a descriptive name, and press
Enter
.
5. Select the new folder and click
File | Properties
.
6. On the
General
page, enter a descriptive text in the
Comment
field to indicate
its content.
7. Check the
Make folder public
checkbox to make this folder available to the
users.
Note:
As opposed to shared folders in Windows, public folders within AXIS
StorPoint DISCO will
not
appear in Network Neighborhood.
Editing the Client
Setup Script
When the administrator installed the server part of AXIS StorPoint DISCO, the
Setup program created a client setup script used for reducing the user interaction
during the client installation.
