  1. Installing & Upgrading The Appliance

Mounting the Data Drive

To mount your data drive on the appliance, you will need to use the exavaultmount tool at a console or SSH session. Use this command with great care. There is potential to delete your data if you accidentally mount your data drive incorrectly.

To mount a drive:

sudo exavaultmount --operation mount --destination /data --source /dev/sdb --type xfs

If your drive resides at a different location that /dev/sdb you should substitute that here.

More exavaultmount documentation is found by running:

sudo exavaultmount --help
