Configuring Harmony Clients
The following procedure demonstrates how to mount the /USADATA and the /USA_DB server directories as NFS Shared points.
To mount NFS Export, clients do the following:
| • | Renaming Existing /USA_DB and /USADATA Directories |
| • | Configuring the Mounts |
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.
How to rename the local /USA_DB and /USADATA directories
- From the Finder, go to Application > Utilities and double-click on Terminal.
- Rename the local
USA_DBandUSADATAdirectories:
sudo mv /USA_DB /USA_DB.BAK
sudo mv /USADATA /USADATA.BAK
Configuring the Mounts
How to configure the mounts using the Disk Utility
- Open the Terminal.
- Edit
fstabfile:
sudo vi /etc/fstab
- To connect to a Mac server:
harmonyserver:/USA_DB /mnt/USA_DB nfs rw,soft,intr,resvport 0 0
harmonyserver:/USADATA /mnt/USADATA nfs rw,soft,intr,resvport 0 0
To connect to a Linux server:
harmonyserver:/USA_DB /mnt/USA_DB nfs rw,soft,intr 0 0
harmonyserver:/USADATA /mnt/USADATA nfs rw,soft,intr 0 0
- Create the folder:
sudo mkdir /mnt/USA_DB
sudo mkdir /mnt/USADATA
- Mount:
sudo mount -a
- Open a new Terminal window.
- Verify that the
/USA_DBand/USADATAshared points have been mounted properly:
ls /Volumes/USA_DB
ls /Volumes/USADATA
- 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
- 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
