Automounting and NFS client software

Disable automounting when using any supported NFS client product. This allows the NFS client to use UNC names to access VOB and view storage on Linux or the UNIX system.

About this task

In the VersionVault program in Control Panel, the setting of the Enable automatic mounting of NFS storage directories check box determines how VOB or view storage directories on the file systems of Linux or the UNIX system are accessed by HCL VersionVault when you use NFS client products.

If you use an OpenText NFS Client or if you install a supported NFS product after you have installed HCL VersionVault, you can disable automounting by using the VersionVault program in Control Panel.

Procedure

  1. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel. Start the VersionVault program.
  2. On the Options page, clear the Enable automatic mounting of NFS storage directories check box.
  3. Click OK.

Results

If you have been using HCL VersionVault with the Enable automatic mounting of NFS storage directories check box selected, you can continue to do so. Windows drive letters are mapped by HCL VersionVault to VOB and view storage directories on Linux or the UNIX system, and accesses the directories through those drive letters.
Note: These drive letters are for internal HCL VersionVault use. They are different from the drive letters you can assign and use for your own work within views. In particular, do not confuse them with the drive letters you can assign to dynamic views when you start those views.
