This topic provides information for starting a Linux™ client.
You can use the setupstclient command or a series of manual steps to start a Linux client. After the setupstclient command runs successfully, during any subsequent reboot, the client driver is loaded, the SAN File System client is created, and the file system is mounted.
For example, typing insmod usr/tank/client/bin/stfs.o would load the driver file stfs.o from the directory usr/tank/client/bin.
# /usr/tank/client/bin/stfsclient -create fvt4-c5-lin.3 192.168.10.35:1700 -converter=8859-1 -nettype tcp -device=dir=/dev/tank HSTCL0031I The client named fvt4-c5-lin.3 was created with client identifier 37798000 for SAN File System metadata server at IP address 192.168.10.35, port 1700. HSTCL0068I Establishing 20 candidate SAN File System user data disk devices.
# /usr/tank/client/bin/stfsmount fvt4-c5-lin /mnt/sanfs HSTMO0015I Mounted SAN File System client fvt4-c5-lin of file-system type sanfs over directory /mnt/sanfs in read-write mode.
