Connecting to the Media Vault from a Linux System

This topic provides general guidelines and instructions on how to access the
shared folders and configuration screens on the HP Media Vault from a Linux
system. The particular steps needed to configure a Linux system for connection
to the server may vary depending on the particular Linux installation.
Connecting to HP Media Vault using Samba
Samba provides a simple and secure way of connecting a Linux computer to
the server using the SMB (server Message Block) and CIFS (Common Internet
File System) protocols. The SMB network protocol is the native file-sharing
protocol for Windows. CIFS defines a standard remote file-system access
protocol for use over a network.
To use Samba, the Linux system must have Samba installed. For information
about how to install Samba, see the documentation or main pages included
with the Linux distribution.
Using a Linux graphical interface to connect
Linux distributions have numerous versions and graphical interfaces.
Consequently, it is not possible to provide specific steps when using a
graphical interface to connect a Linux system to the server. General steps for
connection include using a network browser to find the server.
Note: If a firewall is running, turn it off or configure the system to allow
Samba to connect to the SMB Shares.
The path to the server is as follows:
Domain - default, Windows Network
•
Workgroup - default, WORKGROUP
•
Machines - default, HPMediaVault
•
If any of these default names have changed, use the new name.
