   1. 1. Click the Hamburger icon.

      Additional Information

      The HA file system may be listed and can be selected, but cannot actually be mounted to the client. Trying to mount the HA file system will result in an error message that can be dismissed, but will not cause any problems.

   2. Set the mount options in the Mount options box (for example, diskproxy=client). See the command MOUNT_CVFS(8) in the StorNext 6 Man Pages Reference Guide for additional information regarding mount options.
   3. Click Add to add the volume to the list of volumes to be mounted.
   4. Use the Mount point and Mount options boxes to modify the mount point (default is /stornext/[volume]) and mount options if changes are needed before mounting the volume.
   5. Repeat the previous steps to add more volumes to the list of volumes to be mounted. Click the "X" next to an added volume to remove it from the list of volumes to be mounted to the client.

8. Click Continue. The Discover page appears, displaying the workspaces and clients.
