Mounting an NFS mount point

Last Updated : Jun 18, 2024 |

About this task

After deploying the new server, mount the extract device. Ensure that data can be written to and read from the network mount point extract path.

Procedure

  1. On the CMS server, run mkdir /CUE_extract_dir to create the NFS mount point.
  2. Run the ifconfig -a command.

    An output similar to the following is displayed:

  3. Run ping route_ip and verify that the network router for the CMS server responds.
  4. Run ping nfs_server_ip_address and verify that the network server responds.
  5. To mount the network server, run the following command on a single line: 
    mount -t nfs <network_server_ip_address>:/network_server_mt_pt_dir/CUE_extract_dir
    Important:

    The network_server_mt_pt_dir must be the same mount point created when you extracted data using the cvue_extract process.

  6. Run cd /CUE_extract_dir to switch to the network server mount point directory.
  7. Run ls -l to list the contents of the network server mount point directory.

    Ensure that the cvue_extract.tar file is listed.
