Creating a fileset for Linux

Perform the following steps to create a fileset for Red Hat Linux™ Advanced Server 3.0.

Prerequisites

Steps

  1. In the My Work frame, click Manage Filing > Create a Fileset.
    • In the Create a Fileset panel:
    1. Fill in the Name field (Linux_Fileset) and the Description field (for example, "a fileset for only Linux files"). Then, select a metadata server from the drop-down list (for example, ST0).
    2. Under Attach Point, fill in the Directory Path field (for example, sanfs) and the Directory Name field (for example, linux30). Click OK.
    • Optionally, select a Server Assignment Method and Quota Options.
  2. Click Manage Filing > Filesets. Verify your new fileset in the list.
  3. Grant root privileges to the client by clicking Manage Servers and Clients > Client Sessions.
    1. In the Client Sessions panel, select a client, select Grant Clients Root Privileges from the drop-down list, and then click Go.
  4. On the Red Hat Linux client machine, switch to the SAN File System mount point, and change to the global fileset directory.
    # pwd 
    /mnt/SAN_FS_MOUNTPT/sanfs 
    # ls 
    total 8

  5. Change the ownership and permissions of the fileset.
    # chown root: linux 
    # chmod 755 linux 
    # ls 
    total 8 
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root    root    4096 July 3 10:21 linux
