The following example shows how the entries might look for a filer with these
interfaces:
255.255.255.145 filer-e0 filer
255.255.255.155 filer-e1
In the first line of the preceding example, the filer host name itself is used as an alias
for the first network interface.

You must export the filers file systems before clients can mount them.
Use an editor from an NFS or CIFS client to edit the
/etc/exports
file to export filer
directories.

For clients to mount file systems from the filer, you must create entries for the direc-
tories exported from the filer in each clients
/etc/fstab
or
/etc/vfstab
file.
After you edit the clients
/etc/fstab
or
/etc/vfstab
file, the clients mount the file sys-
tems automatically when they boot.

To prepare clients to mount the filers file systems, perform the following steps:
NOTE: The /vol/vol0/home directory is used as a sample filer directory in this proce-
dure. You should use a path that exists on the filer.
1. Create a directory on the client to act as a mount point. For example,
/n/filer/
home
.
2. To mount the filers
/vol/vol0/home
directory to
/n/filer/home
, add the following
line to the clients
/etc/fstab
or
/etc/vfstab
file:
filername
:/vol/vol0/home /n/filer/home nfs rw 0 0
Replace
filername
with the name of your file.
The file system is mounted when the client reboots.
3. To mount the
/vol/vol0/home
directory without a client reboot, enter the following
command at the client:
mount
filername:
/vol/vol0/home /n/filer/home
