Mounting the CIFS shares on a Linux server

If Connections Docs or File Viewer servers are running on Linux, they need to mount the share.

Procedure

  • To mount the CIFS share on Linux for File Viewer, use the command:
    mount -t cifs //host_name/VIEWER_SHARE -o username=username,password=password /local_path
  • To mount the CIFS share on Linux for Docs, use the command:
    mount -t cifs //host_name/DOCS_SHARE -o username=username,password=password /local_path

Results

This will mount the Docs and viewer share directory to the Docs and File Viewer nodes. To ensure the mount persists on system reboots, this command must be added to the fstab or equivalent to mount the DOCS DATA and VIEWER DATA on system startup.
