File system sharing for FTS Server and WorldServer

The FTS Filesystem Options diagram provides a reference for the host names, Samba and Windows share names, AIS mount names, and user account names used in the FTS Server and WorldServer configurations.

All exported file systems must appear to the FTS Server as Windows shares. It is important to remember the following points:

  • The WorldServer user and FTS Server connection user should be the same, to ensure that the same permissions apply in both cases. In the documentation examples, WorldServer and the FTS Server are running as the "worldserver" user.
  • For the non-Windows file system to work as a Windows mount, the file system name needs to match the machine name.

AIS mount configurations

For each WorldServer mount used with the FTS Server, configure the following:

  • The AIS mount name.
  • The folder path written as a Windows share name, such as: //solarishost/mount1
