<h1 class="topictitle1">Linking Linux drives</h1>
<div><p>This topic discusses how to link integrated Linux<sup>®</sup> server
drives.</p>
<p>For your Linux server
to see a newly created storage space, it must be linked to the servers NWSD.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Linking Linux drives using iSeries™ Navigator</h4><p>To link your Linux drive,
complete the following steps.</p>
<ol><li>Click <span class="uicontrol">All Virtual Disks</span> under Integrated Server
Administration.</li>
<li>Right-click the drive you want to link.</li>
<li>Select <span class="uicontrol">Add Link</span> to open the Add Link to Server
window.</li>
<li>For “Link to server” select the NWSD that corresponds to your Linux server
from the drop-down list.</li>
<li>Choose a Link type, either fixed or dynamic.</li>
<li>Optionally, you can specify the link sequence position, which is the order
in which the Linux server
sees it drives. This parameter defaults to the next available sequence position.
Click View Sequence for a listing of the current order in which the storage
spaces are linked.</li>
<li>Access to disk drive: Exclusive - Update is the recommended choice for
a Linux server.</li>
<li>Click <span class="uicontrol">OK</span> to link the drive to the NWSD.</li>
<li>You see the message confirming that the disk was linked successfully to
the NWSD, and reminding you that you need to format it.</li>
</ol>
<div class="important"><span class="importanttitle">Important:</span> After you have created and linked a storage space
for a Linux server,
you must partition and format the drive using a Linux utility before it can be used.</div>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Linking Linux drives using CL commands</h4><p>To link a Linux drive
using a CL command, complete the following steps:</p>
<ol><li>Type in <kbd class="userinput">WRKNWSSTG</kbd>. Press <span class="uicontrol">Enter</span>.
The Work with Network Server Storage Spaces display appears. Type <kbd class="userinput">10</kbd> in
the Opt column next to the storage space that you want to link. Press <span class="uicontrol">Enter</span>. </li>
<li>Optionally, you can type <kbd class="userinput">ADDNWSSTGL</kbd> on
the command line. Press <span class="uicontrol">Enter</span>. The Add Server Storage
Link display.<ol type="a"><li>For “Network server storage space” enter the storage space name.</li>
<li>For “Network server description” enter the NWSD that corresponds to your Linux server.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>For “Dynamic storage link” leave the default of *NO if you want to link
the storage space statically, or change it to *YES for a dynamic link. Press <span class="uicontrol">Enter</span>.</li>
<li>Optionally, you can specify the drive sequence number, which is the order
in which the Linux server
sees it drives. This parameter defaults to the next available sequence position.</li>
<li>Press <span class="uicontrol">Enter</span>. You see a message at the bottom of
