Check for Changes in Linux Server Configuration

As the files are repopulated on the SteelStore appliance, log in to the Linux server and review the Linux file system table. Linux uses the FSTAB (or /etc/fstab) to map disk appliances as subdirectories of the Linux file system. FSTAB is used to map the NFS exports of the SteelStore appliance to subdirectories used as mount points for Virtual Volume data.

Because you are configuring a new appliance, some items like the IP address may change. Review FSTAB if there are changes in this area.

Follow these steps:

1. SSH to the Linux server and issue the cacloud setup command to edit or modify the FSTAB entries:

   sudo cacloud setup 
   

2. Complete the changes.
3. Reboot the Linux system to ensure that the FSTAB changes take effect.
4. Issue the following commands to verify that your FSTAB entries are properly configured on the Linux server:
   • To display the mount points in effect issue:

     mount
     df -h
     

   • To display mount points that the Cloud Connector uses:

     cacloud mp_stats
     

   • To display volser ranges of mount points that are mapped to the Cloud Connector:

     cacloud mp_stats mp*/vv*
     

     The optional mp*/vv* parameter lets you display volser ranges of mount points that are mapped to the Cloud Connector.
