External Disks
Note –
The Netra software does not display the External Disks module if you
do not have external disks attached to the Netra server. If you add a new
external disk to an already-configured Netra server, restart the server with the
Check for new devices during restart
option so that it recognizes the new disk
drive.
Use the External Disks module to create mount points for external disks or to
erase any unmounted disks. You must provide the mount point for a disk
drive.
Warning – When you erase a disk, you lose all the data on it.

To Mount or Erase an External Disk
1. Select System Administration: External Disks.
The External Disk Administration page is displayed.
2. Select one of the following options:
•
To mount a disk, select Mount and enter the mount point for this disk.
The mount point is the directory on which to mount the disk. If the
directory does not exist, it will be created before the disk is mounted.
•
To unmount a disk, select Unmount and confirm the operation.
•
To erase a disk, select Erase and confirm the operation.
Note – If an external disk is attached to the Netra server but is not in the
expected Netra format, you will not see the mount option. Erase the disk first.
The mount option will then be displayed.
