Setup for UNIX Networks (NFS)

This chapter describes the setup for UNIX systems on networks
using NFS (Network File System) transported over UDP/IP.
Examples of procedures for UNIX systems are included. You may
need to refer to your system manuals for assistance with specific
procedures.
Use the instructions in chapter 3 to assign an IP address to the
server (the "Set the IP Address for the Server" section from page 3-1
to page 3-8) before doing any of the procedures in this chapter.
Following that section of chapter 3 are instructions for accessing
the discs and configuring the server by using a web browser
(starting on page 3-9). For installations with IP and HTTP, we
recommend use of those instructions for client access and
configuration in addition to the methods following in this chapter 6.

Client Access to Discs

The procedures for accessing your HP SureStore CD/DVD-ROM
server are similar to accessing any other workstation or file server.
Users at workstations on the network use the same procedures to
access both types of servers, For easy access to the discs from
applications, the server should be "mounted" for each client system.
After the server is mounted, the client accesses the server, with its
discs (and optionally its configuration) just like any other attached
disk drive or networked file server.
The mapping described in this section can be done on one
workstation by one administrator or installer first. Then any
configuration tasks for the server setup can be done (described later
in "Configuring the Server" on page 6-3, before setting up all the
network clients according to the procedures in this section.
