Use the following procedure to install the StorNext FS client software in an IBM AIX operating
system.
Step 1 Log on as root.
This allows you to perform the installation without having permission problems.
Step 2 Install the client software.
installp -ac -d *.bff all
Step 3 Make sure the /<usr>/cvfs/config/fsnameservers file contains the name of your
server machine.
Step 4 Create the mount points for the file systems.
mkdir -p <mount point>
chmod 777 <mount point>
Step 5 Add a stanza to /etc/filesystems to enable automount after reboot.
crfs -v cvfs -d <file system name> -a verbose=yes -a
type=cvfs -A yes -m <mount point>
The file system name is the name that you created when you configured the StorNext FS
software using the ICW’s Add File System wizard. (Refer to the
Adding File Systems
section of this document for more information.)
