Video Transcription

Hello and welcome to lab number seven
00:07
in this lab. We're going to be accessing I p storage,
00:11
which basically means we're going to be mounting an NFS file system.
00:16
So I'm already logged into the center, as you can see,
00:19
but I still need to know my NFS
00:22
server host name or its I p address
00:25
and the actual path
00:27
to the data store.
00:32
So in order to get started, let's select our host.
00:37
We'll go to the configuration tab
00:40
and storage.
00:43
If you remember from the last lab, we attach a nice cosy storage.
00:47
And of course, we can still see our local disc here.
00:52
Now we want to add storage.
00:54
So go to the ad storage link in the upper right corner
01:00
pick network file system,
01:03
which is exactly what we want.
01:07
Now we need our server I p address.
01:11
So mine mine as device is 1 68 1 68 2
01:17
Now we need to mount point.
01:19
If you don't have this information hand, you might have to check with your administrator.
01:23
If you're doing this in a lab
01:26
otherwise set up amount
01:27
or rather, a file system, export another Windows server even and you can mount that
01:45
there's a lone Mount Point.
01:48
Okay, I could mount it. Read only,
01:52
and that's very useful
01:53
when you're trying to provide a more secure environment.
01:57
Maybe you just you're just
01:59
creating a file server but not really allowing anyone to
02:02
make changes
02:04
or put files there.
02:06
We'll leave that unchecked for now,
02:07
and then we'll call the data store
02:09
and a fast just to keep things easy,
02:14
and we get our summary page.
02:17
It will click finish,
02:21
as you can see it mounted very quickly.
02:25
It's trying to get the whole path visible here.
02:30
So there's a server and the path to the NFS file system, and I have my statistics here
02:37
so I can see what the
02:38
false system has available compared to my other storage.
02:44
Now we're gonna go look at our storage views.
02:47
This is another way to inspect your available storage,
02:52
using a different part of the interface. Let's explore that for a moment,
02:55
look like storage use,
02:58
and we'll start off by looking at all of our scuzzy paths.
03:06
So I've got several here, two different virtual controllers to different targets on this control or 37
03:13
and we can see that That's a nice cosy adapter
03:15
that we created in the last lab.
03:17
And we even have our ice cosy targets
03:21
full name to those
03:23
that's useful information.
03:25
We also want to look at our
03:29
because you are scuzzy targets. Rather,
03:31
we can see those if we want to look at them directly.
03:36
We could look at her now as mounts,
03:38
which in this case is our NFS false system we just attached.
03:43
And then we can also look at things like data stores
03:46
if you want to look at it by its name
03:49
and still get some decent information about it.
03:52
You'll also notice that where multi path thing status shows that the now, as
03:57
has multi path thing
03:59
the manifest as because it's across the I p Network,
04:01
but no redundancy for the local disc or the ice cosy connections.
04:09
Okay, that concludes lad number seven
