This topic describes how to install version 2.2 of the SAN File System on a Solaris client.
pkgadd -d sfs.client.solaris9.build_level
/usr/tank/client/bin/setupstclient -promptYou are prompted to enter values for the client configuration, as shown in Table 1. In most cases, you can accept the defaults.
Parameter | Default | Description |
---|---|---|
devices | pat=/dev/dsk/c*t*d*s2 | The SAN File System client determines which disks to use as SAN File System user data volumes by searching a list of disks, called device candidates. The device candidate list can be specified as a pattern or directory. pat=<pattern> dir=<directory path>. |
convertertype | ISO-8859-1 | The NLS converter provides the metadata server with data on how to convert strings from the SAN File System client into Unicode. Refer to the International Components for UNICODE Web site noted in Web sites for a list of supported converters. |
clientname | hostname | The name can be any string, but must be unique among all SAN File System clients. |
server_ip | No default | The SAN File System client must connect to one of the metadata servers in the cluster. After the client establishes a connection to the server, the server notifies the client of any other servers in the cluster. |
server_port | 1700 | The SAN File System client must connect to the client-server port on the metadata server. Running the command sfscli statserver –netconfig <server_name> on the server displays the client-server port. |
mount_point | /mnt/sanfs | The client setup utility mounts the SAN File System
to a specified mount point (directory) and creates the file system image.
If the specified mount point does not exist, it is created. Attention: Do
not enter the mount point or directory of any general directories that are
used by the base operating system of the client. For example, /, /root, /var,
/etc, /usr. Doing this might cause the client operating system to stop performing
basic functions. If you do mount the client at a standard directory, call
the IBM® Support
Center for assistance.
|
readonly | No | If you mount the SAN File System as read-only, data and metadata in the file system can be viewed, but not modified. |
