DescriptionAttribute
This attribute is optional. It allows you to link all of the hosts in the group to a single
operating system. You can then use a platform rule to map all the hosts in a group to
os
the same mount point. The os attribute is restricted to the following values: Linux,
Windows NT, and MacOSX.
Example:
<group name=“Autodesk_Stations” os=”Linux”>
<host_name=“flame1”>
<host_name=“inferno1”>
<host_name=“smoke1”>
</group>
<group name=“Lustre_Windows_Stations” os=”WindowsNT”>
<host_name=“lustre1”>
<host_name=“lustre2”>
<host_name=“lustre3”>
</group>
After you have defined a group, you can use the host/path rule to map all the
hosts in the group to the same path by using the group name for either the
src_host or dst_host attribute value.
In the following example, all hosts in the Lustre_Windows_Stations group
map the Autodesk_Stations storage path to N:\myclips, a mount point they
all share:
<map src_host=“Autodesk_Stations” src_path=“/CXFS1/myclips”
dst_host=“Lustre_Windows_Stations” dst_path=“N:\myclips”>
You can also use a platform rule to map all the hosts in a group to the same
destination path based on the operating system they all run.
In the following example, the platform rule is used to map all Windows users
to N:\ when translating /usr/ from a Linux system:
<map src_os=“Linux” src_path=“/usr/”
dst_os=“WindowsNT” dst_path=“N:\”>
