the name you set when using the Mac OS Finder.
Note: After renaming the Tools Drive, verify that the Tools Drive name has also
been updated on the TerraBlock Server using the Disk Management utility.
8. If formatting the Tools volume, once the format process is complete, immediately
launch the TerraBlock Manager on the Mac workstation. This will create the Control
file (the Control file should be 3.8MB in size after creation). The Control file allows
the Mac clients to communicate with the TerraBlock Server.
9. Verify that the Control file has been created and is the correct size (3.8MB).
10. Reboot the Mac client when finished renaming or reformatting in order to change
the Tools volume back to ‘Read-only’.
For more information on Tools drive formatting, see Tech Note 035 –
Reformatting the Tools Drive on Mac OS
In Mac environments the Tools drive should also be excluded from from spotlight
indexing. See Tech Note 049 - Excluding the Tools Volume from Spotlight
Indexing in Mac OS
Mac OSX Icon Installation
The Facilis TerraBlock Icon Installer is intended for use on Macintosh
clients using the ATTO Fibre Channel cards only. The Facilis TerraBlock
Icon Installer does not install custom icons for Multi-user Write volumes.
The TerraBlock System comes with custom volume icons to distinguish Facilis TerraBlock
Single-user and Multi-user Write volumes from others on the Mac desktop. The Facilis
TerraBlock Icon Installer can be used for Fibre Channel connected Mac clients using the
ATTO 4G, 8G, 16G and ATTO ThunderLink Fibre Channel devices.
The TerraBlock Icon Installer is optional software and is not required for
TerraBlock Server / Client functionality.
To install the TerraBlock Volume OSX Icons, launch the Facilis TerraBlock Icon Installer
package on the Mac client, and follow installer application instructions. The Icon Installer
can be found in the Utilities folder on the TerraBlock Server or the Facilis Download
Center.
The Multi-user Write (MUW) Mac icon installer will change all connected
server icons to the Facilis icon. The MUW Mac icon uninstaller will revert
this back to defaults.
