Setting-up a Network Drive – UNIX and Linux
Before you can set-up a network drive, you must have:
• NAS file system. See "Creating a NAS File System" on page 111.
• Unix/Linux sharing enabled. See "Making UNIX and Linux Protocol Settings"
on page 106.
• IP address of the Unix/Linux host designated. See "Making UNIX/Linux
Sharing Settings" on page 109.

On the UNIX or Linux PC with Command Line Interface

To setup a network drive:
1. Open a terminal window.
2. Type mount + the iSCSI port IP address + Volume name + Folder name and
press Enter.
Example:
mount 192.168.1.204:/VOLUME1/PUBLIC /mount-point
and press Enter.
You will have a different IP address and possibly different Volume and Folder
names.
Use the mount point you specified when you created the logical drive. See
"Creating a Disk Array – Advanced" on page 156 or "Creating a Logical
Drive" on page 160.
3. Change to the public directory. Type cd /public and press Enter.
You can now copy files to and from the folder on the VessRAID.
4. When you are done with the public folder, type:
cd; umount /PUBLIC
and press Enter.

On the Linux PC with Graphic Desktop

This procedure is for a RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 configuration. If you run a
different version of Linux, you might have to adapt the procedure. See your OS
documentation.
To setup a network drive:
1. From the Applications menu, choose Network Servers.
2. In the Network window, double-click Windows Network.
3. Double-click the VessRAID on your network.
On Linux, the VessRAID is identified by its Computer Name. See "Making
Windows Protocol Settings" on page 104.
