Mounting volumes

You can use System Manager to mount volumes to a junction in the Storage Virtual Machine (SVM) namespace.

About this task

If you mount the volume to a junction path with a language setting that is different from that of the immediate parent volume in the path, NFSv3 clients cannot access some of the files because some characters might not be decoded correctly.
This issue does not occur if the immediate parent directory is the root volume.
You can mount a SnapLock volume only under the root of the SVM.
You cannot mount a regular volume under a SnapLock volume.

Steps

Click the SVMs tab.
Select the SVM, and then click Manage.
Click the Namespace tab.
Click Mount, and then select the volume that is to be mounted.
Optional: If you want to change the default junction name, specify a new name.
Click Browse, and then select a junction path to mount the volume.
Click OK, and then click Mount.
Verify the new junction path in the Details tab.
