FilesystemManager(1M)

NAME
     FilesystemManager - view and manage filesystems

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sysadm/bin/runcatalog /usr/sysadm/catalogdf/SaFilesystemCatalog.cdf

DESCRIPTION
     Managers display information about your system and provide access to
     interactive guides (also called tasks) that let you administer your
     system.

     In a Manager window, you can open a guide by choosing its name from the
     Task menu or by clicking its button at the bottom of the window.

     The Filesystem Manager uses several methods to monitor the filesystems in
     use by the system. It uses fam to detect changes in /etc/mtab, which
     lists mounted filesystems.  It also uses fam to monitor the execution of
     other programs, such as mkfs which can create filesystems.

     When the Filesystem Manager detects a potential change in filesystem
     configuration, it uses the privcmd listAllDiskFS to read filesystems on
     local disk, the privcmd xlvShow to read filesystems on xlv logical
     volumes, and the contents of /etc/mtab to get the mount state of the
     various filesystems as well as any remotely mounted filesystems.

     Every two seconds, the Filesystem Manager checks the free space of all
     the filesystems that it is monitoring with the statfs function.

GUIDES
     Guides, also called "tasks," are interactive windows that lead users
     through the steps necessary to perform various system administration
     tasks, such as adding new user accounts and configuring networking on the
     system.

     A guide typically consists of a series of pages that prompt users to
     enter information or select options. A user navigates through guide pages
     using the Prev and Next buttons (or corresponding arrow keys).  When the
     user reaches the last page of a guide and clicks the OK button, the
     system executes one or more privileged commands to perform the system
     administration task. These commands are located in /usr/sysadm/privcmd.
     See runpriv(1M) for more information about privileged commands.

     Many of the guides require that a user either know the root password or
     be assigned the necessary privileges (using the PrivilegeManager(1)) in
     order to perform the task.

     Because listAllDiskFS is a privcmd, users need the List All Filesystems
     (listAllDiskFS(1m)) privilege to run the FilesystemManager.  In addition
     the Show Xlv (xlvShow(1M)) privilege is needed to administer XLV volumes.

     Mount Local Filesystem
               This Guide lets users mount filesystems on local disks.  The
               privileges needed for this task are:

               o    Mount Filesystem (mountfs(1M))

               o    List All Filesystems (listAllDiskFS(1M))

               o    Show xlv (xlvShow(1M))

               o    Get Information About Disks (getDiskInfo(1M))

     Mount Remote (Mount Network Filesystem)
               This Guide lets users mount filesystems on other workstations
               with NFS.  The privileges needed for this task are:

               o    Mount Filesystem (mountfs(1M))

               o    List All Filesystems (listAllDiskFS(1M))

               o    Show xlv (xlvShow(1M))

     Mount Mac and PC (Mount Appleshare or Netware)
               This Guide lets users access files on Apple Macintosh and MS
               DOS/Windows computers.The privileges needed for this task are:

               o    Mount Filesystem (mountfs(1M))

               o    List All Filesystems (listAllDiskFS(1M))

               o    Show xlv (xlvShow(1M))

     Unmount Filesystem
               This Guide lets users unmount mounted filesystems.  The
               privileges needed for this task are:

               o    Unmount Filesystem (umountfs(1M))

               o    List All Filesystems (listAllDiskFS(1M))

               o    Show xlv (xlvShow(1M))

     Remount a Filesystem
               This Guide lets users remount a filesystem that they have
               temporarily unmounted.  The privileges needed for this task
               are:

               o    Mount Filesystem (mountfs(1M))

               o    List All Filesystems (listAllDiskFS(1M))
               o    Show xlv (xlvShow(1M))

     Set Space Monitoring
               This Guide lets users control what notifications they receive
               when filesystems get low on space.  The privileges needed for
               this task are:

               o    List All Filesystems (listAllDiskFS(1M))

               o    Show xlv (xlvShow(1M))

     Create Striped Logical Volume
               This Guide lets the user create a striped logical volume of up
               to three disks. An xfs filesystem is automatically placed on
               the newly created volume.  The privileges needed for this task
               are:

               o    Create xlv Logical Volume (xlvCreateLV(1M))

               o    Get Disk Partitions (getDiskParts(1M))

               o    Get Information About Disks (getDiskInfo(1M))

               o    List All Filesystems (listAllDiskFS(1M))

               o    Make xfs Filesystem (mkfsXfs(1M))

               o    Partition Disk (setDiskParts(1M))

               o    Show xlv (xlvShow(1M)).

     Create an Extendable Logical Volume
               This Guide lets the user create an extendable logical volume
               containing one or more disks.  An xfs filesystem is
               automatically placed on the newly created volume.  The
               privileges needed for this task are:

               o    Create xlv Logical Volume (xlvCreateLV(1M))

               o    Get Disk Partitions (getDiskParts(1M))

               o    Get Information About Disks (getDiskInfo(1M))

               o    List All Filesystems (listAllDiskFS(1M))

               o    Make xfs Filesystem (mkfsXfs(1M))

               o    Partition Disk (setDiskParts(1M))

               o    Show xlv (xlvShow(1M))
     Extend Logical Volume
               This Guide lets the user add unused disks to an Extendable
               Logical Volume.  The disk space of the new disk is added to the
               space of the volume.  The privileges needed for this task are:

               o    Create xlv Logical Volume (xlvCreateLV(1M))

               o    Extend xlv Logical Volume (xlvExtend(1M))

               o    Get Disk Partitions (getDiskParts(1M))

               o    Get Information About Disks (getDiskInfo(1M))

               o    List All Filesystems (listAllDiskFS(1M))

               o    Make xfs Filesystem (mkfsXfs(1M))

               o    Partition Disk (setDiskParts(1M))

               o    Show xlv (xlvShow(1M))

     Remove Logical Volume
               This Guide lets the user remove an extendable logical volume or
               a striped logical volume.  The contents of the volume are lost
               and the disks are returned to an unused state.  The privileges
               needed for this task are:

               o    Delete xlv (xlvDelete(1M))

               o    List All Filesystems (listAllDiskFS(1M))

               o    Show xlv (xlvShow(1M))
