Adding an External Filer
A Network-Attached Storage (NAS) filer or a file server with Direct-Attached
Storage (DAS) is configured as an external filer on the ARX. An external filer defines
how to access the storage in an external NAS/DAS-based device. From gbl mode, use
the
external-filer command to create an empty external-filer instance:
external-filer name
where name (1-64 characters) is a name you choose for this external filer. This is
often associated with the machine’s NetBIOS name or hostname, but you can
choose any name.
The CLI prompts for confirmation before creating the external-filer object in the
database. Enter yes to confirm. (You can disable all such create-confirmation prompts
with the
terminal expert command.)
This puts you into gbl-ext-filer mode. From gbl-ext-filer mode, you need to identify
the IP address(es) of the external filer. You can also provide a description and other
optional parameters.
For example, the following command sequence creates an external filer named
“das1:”
bstnA6k(gbl)# external-filer das1
This will create a new filer.
Create filer 'das1'? [yes/no] yes
bstnA6k(gbl-ext-filer[das1])# ...
