However, this is only useful if the system had finished creating a dynamic volume. If the create filesystem command Managing data - HP StorageWorks 9100 | HP StorageWorks 9100 Extreme Data Storage System administ - Page 61
. NOTE: The exdsmgr delete filesystem command does not delete the data LUNs. Managing filesystems Mounting and unmounting filesystems Use the exdsmgr mount command to mount a filesystem on all servers, as shown in the following example: 9100 Extreme Data Storage System administration guide 61 - HP StorageWorks 9100 | HP StorageWorks 9100 Extreme Data Storage System administ - Page 62
when the filesystem was created. The mount command queries the system to determine what mount options were previously used for the unmounting the filesystem, use the following command: # mx fs unmount --persistent psv5 ALL_SERVERS where psv5 is the =psv5 psfs_options=--noquotas 62 Managing data - HP StorageWorks 9100 | HP StorageWorks 9100 Extreme Data Storage System administ - Page 63

HP ExDS9100 system software. Managing the HP ExDS9100 firewall Firewall concepts The HP ExDS system uses iptables to implement a firewall on each server. The iptables rules allow the servers to communicate with each other and to provide appropriate NAS services to other systems. 88 Changing system - HP StorageWorks 9100 | HP StorageWorks 9100 Extreme Data Storage System administ - Page 89
-j ACCEPT # pdsh -a service iptables save Restricting a port to an IP To restrict a file service protocol port to a particular IP subnet, modify the MXSO-External-Filter chain. For example, to restrict http port 80, use the following process: 9100 Extreme Data Storage System administration guide 89 - HP StorageWorks 9100 | HP StorageWorks 9100 Extreme Data Storage System administ - Page 90
3 -p tcp -m tcp -s 16.123.8.0/24 -dport 80 -j ACCEPT # service iptables save 3. Repeat this procedure on every server. Restoring the firewall configuration to could prevent normal operation of the HP ExDS9100 system software or jeopardize the security of the system.
