Reference: Host Configuration Files

When you add a host to the browser interface and configure Sun QFS file systems, the SAM-QFS Manager software creates or edits the appropriate Sun QFS configuration files on that host. If any file systems are configured to be archiving, the SAM-QFS Manager software also creates or edits the appropriate Sun SAM configuration files. You can use the command-line interface for the file systems to further edit these files later.

The following table describes the browser interface actions that affect the Sun QFS and Sun SAM configuration files on the host.
