5.1.10 Administering Attach Points

Follow these steps to create, modify, or delete attach points--points on directory paths at which clients must provide credentials--in the LM-NT-OS/2 realm:

1. Follow these links:

   • LM-NT-OS/2 Realm->Manage File Services

     The List of LM-NT-OS/2 File Services screen appears.

2. From the list, select the file service in which you want to administer an attach point.

3. Click Administer.

   The LM-NT-OS/2 File Service servicename screen appears.

4. Click Attach Points.

   The List of Defined Attach Points screen appears.

5. From the list, select the attach point you want to modify or delete, or enter the name of an attach point you want to create in the text field. If deleting, you may select more than one attach point. The list contains nothing if no attach points exist.

6. Click Create, Modify, or Delete. The Modify and Delete buttons do not appear if no attach points exist.

   If you clicked Create, the Create New Attach Point screen below appears. Go to Step 7.

   If you clicked Modify, the Update Attach Point attachpoint screen, same as the Create New Attach Point screen below, appears. Go to Step 7.

   If you clicked Delete, the Confirmation screen appears. Click OK. The Delete Attach Points screen appears. Click OK. Do not go to Step 7.

   

7. Enter or select values for the following attributes:

   • Attach point name -- The attach point. If you clicked Modify, this attribute does not appear.

   • Volume -- The list of volumes exported by this service. TAS defines volumes at the system level. File services can reference defined volumes; such references export the volumes.

   • Path -- The directory below the selected volume, used as the virtual root by clients who connect to this attach point.

8. Click Submit.

   The Create New Attach Point screen or the Update Attach Point attachpoint screen appears.

9. Click OK.

   To administer attach points from the UNIX command line, use the tnattach command.
