4. Click the Documents pop-up menu and then select the computer that is mounted to the
Harmonic MediaGrid system.

Mounting a Harmonic MediaGrid from a Macintosh in a Windows Domain
that is not the Default
Macintosh client computers can mount a Harmonic MediaGrid system from a Windows domain,
which is not the default using the command prompt.
If you haven't created the mountpoint directory yet, you must do so before mounting the file
system. You can do so using the mkdir command. For example, mkdir /Volumes/mg-qa1
To mount the file system:
Type the following command to mount the Harmonic MediaGrid via a specific Windows
domain from a Macintosh client:
mount –t omfs –o username=<user>,password=<password>,domain=<domain>
/volume/<fsname>
The bold text above represents the user and infrastructure information specific to the
customer. For example:
mount –t omfs –o username=user1,password=user1password,domain=acme /
Volumes/mg-qa1
Additional Mount Options for Macintosh
The following file system mounting options are available using the Macintosh FSD.
The current values for each of the following mount options are logged in the Macintosh
system.log, which can be viewed in the Console app or in the “/var/log/system.log” at the time of
the Harmonic MediaGrid volume mount.
To learn optimal settings for post-production workflows, please refer to the latest version of the
Harmonic MediaGrid Macintosh FSD Release Notes.
IMPORTANT: Do not modify any of the values in this table without first contacting Technical Support.
