Configuring Clients
To run Toon Boom Harmony on Linux clients, you must mount the binaries and data directories stored on the server. To access the directories exported from the server, the network file server (NFS) and NFS locking services must be running.
- To access the mounted directories, start the NFS service:
/etc/init.d/nfs restart
/sbin/chkconfig nfs on
- The NFS lock manager must run on all Linux stations on your network. Without this service, users cannot access the database without receiving numerous "read lock" error messages.
/etc/init.d/nfslock restart
/sbin/chkconfig nfslock on
You are now ready to mount the directories from the server.
- On each client computer, create directories for:
/usr/local/ToonBoomAnimation/harmony[edition]_12
/USA_DB
/usadata000
The directory names must match the names on the Toon Boom Harmony server.
mkdir /usr/local/ToonBoomAnimation/harmony[edition]_12
mkdir /USA_DB
mkdir /usadata000
- To mount the directories on the client machine, edit the
/etc/fstab
file. In the following example, theserver
is the machine name of the database server.
server:/USA_DB /USA_DB nfs rw,soft,intr,bg 0 0
server:/usadata000 /usadata000 nfs rw,soft,intr,bg 0 0
server:/usr/local/ToonBoomAnimation/harmony[edition]_12 /usr/local/ToonBoomAnimation/harmony[edition]_12 nfs rw,soft,intr,bg 0 0
This will make the Toon Boom Harmony directories mount with the default version of NFS on your system.
If you encounter errors, try using NFS version 2. In this case, you should modify the fstab
file to match the following:
server:/USA_DB /USA_DB nfs rw,soft,intr,bg,vers=2 0 0
server:/usadata000 /usadata000 nfs rw,soft,intr,bg,vers=2 0 0
server:/usr/local/ToonBoomAnimation/harmony[edition]_12 /usr/local/ToonBoomAnimation/harmony[edition]_12 nfs rw,soft,intr,bg,vers=2 0 0
- At a command line, type the mount all command.
mount -av
To verify that all shares are mounted:
mount
A report appears listing all the shares mounted on the client.
- To test that the mount works, open one of the mounted directories and list the contents.
cd /usr/local/ToonBoomAnimation/harmony[edition]_12
ls
A list appears of the directories in Harmony 12.2:
