hello all, im new to the list and not really an as400 admin - just have
a question for which i cant find an answer.
is it possible to mount a samba/windows nt file share to a local folder
on the as400?
we have on our as400 a web app that generates reports and such. the
reports get archived on the 400 and are occasionally accessed via the
web app. since space is getting tight on the 400 we need to move some
of those reports off to a nas device but have them still appear to the
web app as though they are local. we have two linksys gigadrives with
400 gig of storage each that pc's (win2k) and servers (linux) use for
backups, storage, etc, on the local lan. what i would like to do is
move those archived reports to those devices. the hurdle is they only
support samba/windows file sharing and not nfs.
ive seen mention of /QNTC and tried on our 400 the command wrklnk
'/QNTC/*' but get nothing back. ive also seen in one of the menus '
Create NWS Storage Space'? could that be a possible avenue to head down.
as for details on the 400 - its running version 5.? release at least and
is pretty up to date on ptf's and such. we have an as400 guy on staff
but he mostly only knows RPG stuff and not really system
maintenance/administration.
is there any hope of getting something like this working or will i be
buying a nas device that does nfs soon? speed isnt a big issue here as
the reports are usually accessed by less than 5 people all over wan
links (as400 and nas are on same 100 megabit lan) less than once per day
probably.
