Mounting Network Shares Using NFS
Use this procedure to access network shares from a Linux/UNIX computer, when NFS access
is configured. For information, see Configuring NFS Access (on page 125).
To mount a network share using NFS
Run the following command:
mount deviceIP:mountPath localFolder
Where:
deviceIP is the appliance's IP address.
mountPath is the network share's mount path.
To view a network share's mount path, in the Share > Shares page, click the
name of the desired network share. The Network Share Wizard's NFS (UNIX File
Sharing) dialog box displays the network share's mount path in title area.
localFolder is the name of the local folder.
For example, if the appliance IP address is 10.1.1.1, the mount path is /share/share9,
and you want to mount this network share on the local folder /var/mnt/share9, the
relevant command would be:
mount 10.1.1.1:/share/share9 /var/mnt/share9
Accessing the Administrative Share
Administrators can access a hidden administrative share called “/volumes”, using Windows
File Sharing. For information, see Configuring Windows File Sharing (on page 114).
Alternatively, they can access this share via the appliance Web interface's File Manager.
The administrative share allows direct access to the files on each of the appliance's volume.
To access the administrative share via Windows File Sharing
On a computer connected to the same switch as the appliance, browse to
\\<devicename>\volumes\, where <devicename> is the name of your appliance.
For information on viewing your appliance's name, see Viewing the Appliance Details (on
page 320).
