path

: For StoreAll clients only, mount on the specified subdirectory path of the file system

instead of the root.

remount

: Remounts a file system without taking it offline. Use this option to change the current

mount options on a file system.

You can also view mountpoint information for a particular server. Select that server on the Servers
panel, and select Mountpoints from the lower Navigator. To delete a mountpoint, select that
mountpoint and click Delete.

CLI procedures

The CLI commands are executed immediately on file serving nodes. For StoreAll clients, the command
intention is stored in the active Fusion Manager. When StoreAll software services start on a client,
the client queries the active Fusion Manager for any commands. If the services are already running,
you can force the client to query the Fusion Manager by executing either ibrix_client or
ibrix_lwmount -a

on the client, or by rebooting the client.

If you have configured hostgroups for your StoreAll clients, you can apply a command to a specific
hostgroup. For information about creating hostgroups, see the

administration guide

for your system.

Creating mountpoints

Mountpoints must exist before a file system can be mounted. To create a mountpoint on file serving
nodes and StoreAll clients, enter the following command:

ibrix_mountpoint -c [-h HOSTLIST] -m MOUNTPOINT

To create a mountpoint on a hostgroup , enter the following command:

ibrix_mountpoint -c -g GROUPLIST -m MOUNTPOINT

For information about mountpoint options, see the "ibrix_mountpoint" section in the HP StoreAll
CLI Reference Guide
.

Deleting mountpoints

Before deleting mountpoints, verify that no file systems are mounted on them. To delete a mountpoint
from file serving nodes and StoreAll clients, use the following command:

ibrix_mountpoint -d [-h HOSTLIST] -m MOUNTPOINT

To delete a mountpoint from specific hostgroups, use the following command:

ibrix_mountpoint -d -g GROUPLIST -m MOUNTPOINT
