Preparing the primary computer

Before you install any application or remote secondary servers you must export the /aiw file system and create an application or secondary server object in RICOH ProcessDirector. If you plan to use NFS on an application server, you must also verify that an NFS server is installed and started on the primary computer. If you plan to use Samba on an application server, you do not need to install NFS.

After you configure NFS, Samba, or your preferred protocol, use the RICOH ProcessDirector user interface to add and enable the application or secondary server.

In this section:

  1. Configuring the primary server to use NFS

  2. Defining application and remote secondary servers
    After you configure NFS, Samba, or your preferred protocol, you must create the application or secondary server in RICOH ProcessDirector.
