Preparing a Windows application server

When you install an application server on Windows, you are required to mount the /aiw file system from the primary computer so the Windows application server has write access to the /aiw file system as the system user (aiw1 is the default).
There are various ways to mount the /aiw file system on the primary computer from the application server. You can use any method to mount the file system. The procedures below use Samba and NFS file sharing as examples.

In this section:

  1. Connecting to the primary computer using Samba
    To use Samba file sharing, you must configure Samba on the primary computer so the /aiw filesystem is accessible to the Windows application server. The share is then mounted on the Windows application server.
  2. Connecting to the primary computer using NFS
    To use NFS file sharing, you must configure NFS on the primary computer so the /aiw filesystem is accessible to the Windows application server. The share is then mounted on the Windows application server.
