Testing the TAS configuration on ordinary files

About this task

Test the TAS installation and configuration using ordinary files and directories before attempting to use TAS to provide file access to VOBs and views.

Procedure

  1. Create a directory structure on your TAS server (for example, /tasstore/testdir) and a test file in that directory (for example, /tasstore/testdir/testfile).
  2. Install and configure TAS as described in this chapter, using tasstore as the volume name and /tasstore as the path name for the volume.
  3. On a Windows® client, create a file in the TAS volume. Then verify that the user and group settings for that file on Linux® or the UNIX system are correct.
  4. Verify that all Windows clients can access the TAS volume, including testing permission and access restrictions, until you are confident that TAS is working properly.
