Legend
- Client name
- The host name of the client machine.
- Client IP address
- The IP address of the client machine.
- STFS kernel module
- The client loads the file-system driver as a kernel extension. Specify
the path to the location of the client kernel module file. The default is:
/usr/tank/client/bin/stfs.o (This is /base/client/bin/stfs.o , where base
is the base directory.)
- Metadata server connection host
- The fully-qualified host name or IP address of one of the Metadata servers
in the cluster, in dotted decimal format (for example, 9.47.101.01).
- Metadata server port number
- The UDP port number of the Metadata server connection host, in dotted
decimal format (for example, 10190).
- Transport protocol
- The transport protocol that you want the client to use to connect to the
Metadata server. Specify either TCP/IP or UDP.
- Device-candidates list directory
- The client determines which disks to use as volumes by searching the SAN
for a list of available disks, called device candidates. The device-candidate
list consists of those devices that have device special files. (Device special
files are UNIX® files
that reference hardware. The device-candidate list is not viewable to the
user.) Specify the directory that contains the device special files (for example,
/dev/stfsdisk/)
- Mount point
- The mount point (directory) from which the file system appears on the
client. The default mount point is /mnt/tank.
- Mount file system read-only
- Specify whether you want to view, but not modify, data and metadata in
the file system. The default is no.
- Display verbose messages
- Specify whether you want to display information messages from the commands.
The default is no.
