Chapter 4 Items to Verify Before Operation
Verifying Mounts
It is necessary to mount the file server from the application server before
beginning operation. The file server may be mounted automatically by some
applications, but this section offers examples for performing a manual mount.
Notes
• Four mount points have been prepared for both NFS and CIFS mounts (/mfs1
to /mfs4), each corresponding to an AIT library (TL1 to TL4). Data written to
the “/mfs1” mount, for example, is migrated to the TL1 library. You can
increase the number of mount points as you connect more AIT libraries to the
system.
• Write only to mount point “/mfs1” when only one AIT library is connected.
• When mounting AIT libraries, you should consider a balance of their storage
capacity, and write data to each equally.
Example of an NFS Mount
This section offers an example of creating the “sonyhnf” directory directly
beneath the root directory and then mounting the network fileserver from it. The
mounting procedure will differ depending on the application and user.
1
Access the root directory from the client side.
2
Input the following command.
mkdir /sonyhnf
3
Input the following command.
mount XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:/mfs1 /sonyhnf
Replace “XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX” with the IP address for the main server.
Example of a CIFS Mount
If the application server is Windows-based, mount the system with CIFS.
Preparations from the system side
Make sure to register users on the system in advance if you are not using the user
management function with NIS or Windows.
1
From the web administration screen, click
[System] and then
[Users and Groups].
The [Users and Groups] screen appears.
