Mounting non clustered file systems on hosts
For using a file system, you must mount it on a mount point, that is a directory. The Management Server console lets you mount a file system to the mount point on a host.
To mount a file system, the file system must be in an unmounted state.
| Operating system for the host | Supported File Systems |
|---|---|
| Solaris | UNIX file system (UFS) |
| Linux | Ext2, Ext3, and Ext4 |
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the host or the Server perspective. The permission on the host may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization.
