Access to Containers in SMB from Windows, MacOS and Linux
The containers can be reached for accessing Archived Data, it is a virtual file system containing a complete file(s) and folder(s) structure. The file system used an internal cache system and is extended with secondary storage volumes.
The solution supports Operating System running in :
- Windows 7, 8, 10
- MacOS
- Linux
Windows based Operating System
- Go through the command line and type the command to access Network File Explorer : \\nodeumhostname\
In this screenshot, "nodeum-prod.mt-c.local" is the hostname.
- You will then see the list of container available into your Nodeum. In this example, "archive" is a valid defined container. Then click on the icon to access it.
- If you have configured Nodeum with Active Directory, this windows will not appear ; if you have configured Nodeum with local user account, you will have to use your Nodeum's local user name and password to access the Container.
- Once autorized, the you will see the contents available in the container as a normal Network Shared Folder.
MacOS based Operating System
- Access the Go menu in the top bar of your MacOS and go to "Connect to Server" option.
- Then you type into the address list, the Nodeum hostname, such as smb://nodeumhostname, and click on "Connect" button :
- If credentials are well set, you can then access the contents of the Network Shared Folder :
Linux based Operating System
- In your Linux terminal, mount the container (named archive in the example) in using SMB protocol. Verify that you have the right package installed :
# sudo yum install cifs-utils
# sudo mount.cifs //nodeum-prod.mt-c.local/archive /mnt/testmnt -o user=johndoe,pass="secret"
In this example:
nodeum-prod.mt-c.local : hostname of server
/archive : Container name into Nodeum
/mnt/testmnt : access point in your linux system. In the best practice, the name "testmnt" must be choosen according the container name.
-o user=johndoe,pass="secret" : johndoe is a user who have access to the container and "secret" is the password of the user. -
It is also possible to add this mount point in /etc/fstab :
...//nodeum-prod.mt-c.local/archive /mnt/testmnt cifs credentials=johndoe 0 0... - In your Linux terminal, mount the container (named archive in the example) in using either NFS protocols. Verify that you have the right package installed :
# sudo yum install nfs-utils nfs-utils-lib
# sudo mount -t nfs -o vers=4nodeum-prod.mt-c.local:/archive /mnt/testmntIt is also possible to add this mount point in /etc/fstab :
...nodeum-prod.mt-c.local:/archive /mnt/testmnt/ nfs rw,sync,hard,intr 0 0...
