Configuring Harmony Clients
The following procedure demonstrates how to mount the /USADATA
and the /USA_DB
server directories, on a Mac OS X 10.6 or 10.7 workstation, as NSF Shared points.
To mount NFS Export on Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7, clients do the following:
• | Renaming Existing /USA_DB and /USADATA Directories |
• | Configuring the Mounts Using the Disk Utility |
Renaming Existing /USA_DB and /USADATA Directories
/USA_DB
and a /USADATA
local directory.Before starting, you must rename these directories if you want to keep their contents.
1. | Open the Terminal. |
1. | From the Finder, go to Application > Utilities and double-click on Terminal. |
2. | Rename the local USA_DB and USADATA directories: |
sudo mv /USA_DB /USA_DB.BAK
sudo mv /USADATA /USADATA.BAK
Configuring the Mounts Using the Disk Utility
1. | In the Finder, go to Application > Utilities and double-click on Disk Utility. |
2. | In Disk Utility, click on File > NFS Mounts. |
The NFS Mounts window opens.
3. | In NFS Mounts screen, click the plus (+) button on the lower-right corner. |
4. | In the Remote NFS URL field, type the following line. Replace [server name] by the name of the server. For example, if the server name is jarjar, you would type: nfs://jarjar/USA_DB. |
nfs://[server name]/USA_DB
5. | In the Mount Location field, type the following: |
/Volumes/USA_DB
6. | If the workstation is going to connect to a Linux server, edit the Advanced Mount Parameters: |
resvport
7. | Click Verify. |
8. | Click OK on the message that confirms that the NFS server is functional. |
9. | Repeat steps 3 to 8, but enter the following for the Remote NFS URL and Mount Location: |
nfs://[server hostname]/USADATA
/Volumes/USADATA
10. | Click Save and enter your user password to confirm the changes. |
11. | Quit the Disk Utility. |
12. | Open a new Terminal window. |
13. | Verify that the /USA_DB and /USADATA shared points have been mounted properly: |
ls /Volumes/USA_DB
and
ls /Volumes/USADATA
14. | Create symbolic links to the USA_DB and USADATA directories at the root level / |
sudo ln -s /Volumes/USA_DB /USA_DB
sudo ln -s /Volumes/USADATA /USADATA
15. | Verify that the symbolic links are pointing to the right directories: |
ls -l /
The symbolic links for the /USA_DB and /USADATA should look like the following:
USADATA -> /Volumes/USADATA
USA_DB -> /Volumes/USA_DB
