Setup For Unix Networks (Nfs); Client Access To Cds - HP J3278B - SureStore CD-ROM Server/Tower 7 NAS Server User Manual

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 chap-
ter.
Following that section of chapter 3 are instructions for
accessing the CDs and configuring the server by using a web
browser (starting on page 3-8). For installations with IP and
HTTP, we recommend use of those instructions for client
access and configuration in addition to the methods follow-
ing in this chapter 6.

Client Access to CDs

The procedures for accessing your HP CD-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 CDs from
applications, the server should be "mounted" for each client sys-
tem. After the server is mounted, the client accesses the server,
with its CD-ROMs (and optionally its configuration parameters)
just like any other attached disk drive or networked file server.
The mapping described in this section can be done on one work-
station by one administrator or installer first. Then any configu-
ration 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.
