Attaching a fileset

This topic describes how to attach a fileset to the global namespace.

Prerequisites

You must have Administrator privileges to perform this task.

Context

The attach point (existing directory/new directory) appears as a drive and directory on Windows® clients or as a file system on UNIX-based clients. It is recommended that you map the name of the directory to its associated fileset by using the same name as the fileset plus an additional suffix to distinguish it as the directory and not the fileset. For example, if you want to attach the fileset named work to the root of the global namespace, you would specify "sanfs" for the existing directory and specify "work_ap" for the new directory. On a Windows client, the "work_ap" directory would appear under the "sanfs" drive.

Steps

  1. Click Manage Filing > Filesets from the My Work frame.
  2. Select the fileset that you want to attach.
  3. Click Attach from the drop-down box in the table header.
  4. Click Go.
  5. Fill in the appropriate fields.
  6. Click OK to attach the fileset.
