Configuring Harmony Clients

The following procedure demonstrates how to mount the /USADATA and the /USA_DB server directories, on a Mac OS X 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 your existing /USA_DB and /USADATA directories

•

Configuring the Mounts using the Disk Utility
