chgrp and chmod, on the mounted exports.
The StorPoint CD integrates into your network operating system just like any
other file server. Thus you can use standard commands to access it.
To access the discs from your UNIX applications, you must first mount the
StorPoint CD to make the data available to your system. Some applications will
not run properly unless the data is located at root level. Discs that include such
applications must therefore be individually mounted.
You will need root privileges to mount the StorPoint CD.


To access the StorPoint CD resources from a UNIX client, follow these steps:
1. Create a directory for the StorPoint CD.
mkdir <directory>
Example:
mkdir /storpoint_sales_dept
2. Display the export list.
showmount -e <IP address>
3. Mount the resource.
mount <IP address>:<resource> <directory>
where
<IP address>
Example 1 (Root):
mount 192.16.253.80:/ /storpoint_sales_dept
Example 2 (Volumes directory):
mount 192.16.253.80:/volumes /storpoint_sales_dept
is the IP address or host name
