98 Managing Your Storage
Verifying that the HP NAS Server Is Accessible to Users
Windows
To assign (map) a drive letter to a shared network resource, select My
Network Places or Network Neighborhood (depending on your operating
system) to map a drive to the shared resources (SMB shares) managed by the
NAS server.
UNIX
Use the mount command to mount an exported network resource:
mount machine:/nfs/<NFS Mount Point Name>
where <NFS Mount Point Name> was the name defined by the administrator
when the export was created.
Creating a Directory
You can create directories under the root level of a file volume, or under any
directory in the hierarchy. Directories let you organize your data.
Note Before you can create a directory, you must already have
created a file volume.
To create a directory:
1 In the Command View NAS web interface, click the Storage tab.
2 Navigate down the tree to File Volumes, then select Shares/Exports.
3 Navigate through the directory tree that appears in the browser and
highlight the desired file volume or directory you want to create a new
directory under.
4 Select Actions > Create New Directory.
5 Enter the directory name and click OK.
You have created a new directory. This directory is available to users only if
the volume or directory in which it is located is already available. Otherwise,
you must make this directory available to users before they can access it.
The new directory has a default permission setting (777 in UNIX, Everyone in
Windows). After you use the Command View NAS to create a directory, you
should modify the permissions (through a trusted host in UNIX, or in Windows
Explorer) to suit your needs.
