Linux IBRIX 9000 clients

To mount a file system locally, use the following command on the Linux 9000 client. A Fusion
Manager name (fmname) is required only if this 9000 client is registered with multiple Fusion
Managers.

ibrix_lwmount -f [fmname:]fsname -m mountpoint [-o options]

To unmount a file system locally, use one of the following commands on the Linux 9000 client. The
first command detaches the specified file system from the client. The second command detaches
the file system that is mounted on the specified mountpoint.

ibrix_lwumount -f [fmname:]FSNAME
ibrix_lwumount -m MOUNTPOINT

Windows IBRIX 9000 clients

Use the Windows 9000 client GUI to mount file systems locally. Click the Mount tab on the GUI
and select the cluster name from the list (the cluster name is the Fusion Manager name). Then, enter
the name of the file system, select a drive, and click Mount.

If you are using Remote Desktop to access the client and the drive letter is not displayed, log out
and log back in. This is a known limitation of Windows Terminal Services when exposing new
drives.

To unmount a file system on the Windows 9000 client GUI, click the Umount tab, select the file
system, and then click Umount.

Limiting file system access for IBRIX 9000 clients

By default, all IBRIX 9000 clients can mount a file system after a mountpoint has been created. To
limit access to specific IBRIX 9000 clients, create an access entry. When an access entry is in place
for a file system (or a subdirectory of the file system), it enters secure mode, and mount access is
restricted to clients specified in the access entry. All other clients are denied mount access.

Select the file system on the Filesystems top panel, and then select Client Exports in the lower
navigator. On the Create Client Export(s) dialog box, select the clients or hostgroups that will be
allowed access to the file system or a subdirectory of the file system.

To remove a client access entry, select the affected file system on the GUI, and then select Client
Exports from the lower Navigator. Select the access entry from the Client Exports display, and click
Delete.

On the CLI, use the ibrix_exportfs command to create an access entry:

ibrix_exportfs –c –f FSNAME –p CLIENT:/PATHNAME,CLIENT2:/PATHNAME,...
