Take the following steps to connect a Linux system to the server: 1 Open a Terminal session. 2 Become root. 3 If necessary install the Samba plug-in. 4 Create a directory for the shared files. Example: mkdir /mnt/sharefiles 5 Mount the server shared folder to the Linux computer, using the following syntax: mount -t smbfs //HPMediaVault/sharename /mountpoint/sharedirectory NetBIOS name example: mount -t smbfs //HPMediaVault/Documents / mnt/sharefiles IP address example: mount -t smbfs //192.168.1.102/Documents /mnt/ sharefiles Note: Documents is one of the default shared folders on the server. Accessing the HP Media Vault's Administration Console To access the server's configuration screen, use a browser such as FireFox or Konqueror. 1 Open the web browser. 2 In the Location box, enter the IP address or name of the server.
