Step 5 Initialize StorNext FS. Enter:
# cd /usr/cvfs/bin/cvmkfs <file_system_name>
# cp ../examples/fsmlist.example ./fsmlist
Step 6 Create the fsmlist file. Enter:
# cd /usr/cvfs/config
# cp ../examples/fsmlist.example ./fsmlist
Step 7 Edit /usr/cvfs/config/fsmlist so that it contains the names of all StorNext File
Systems.
Client Configuration
Step 1 Create the fsnameservers file by copying /usr/cvfs/examples/
fsnameservers.example and renaming it. Enter:
# cd /usr/cvfs/config
# cp ../examples/fsnameservers.example ./fsnameservers
Step 2 Edit /usr/cvfs/config/fsnameservers so that it contains the hostname or IP
address of all StorNext FS servers. This file must be identical across all servers and
clients.
For information about failover environments, refer to the cvfs_failover man page.
Start the System
Manually start the StorNext FS server. Enter: # /etc/init.d/cvfs start
The StorNext FS service files for the new file system are now started and running in the background
on the StorNext FS server.
CAUTION
This step cannot be undone and all data on the file system will be
lost, so make sure you are ready to initialize the file system before
you proceed.
