Using SAMBA Toolkit in a Serviceguard Cluster README Revision: B.06.00
need to be running in order for the Samba package to access CFS
mounted file systems. Please refer to your Serviceguard Manual for
information on how to configure SG CFS packages. Create a
directory /shared/smb1 on all cluster nodes. Mount the CFS filesystem
on /shared/smb1 using the CFS packages. Use /shared/smb1 to hold the
necessary files and configuration information.
NOTE:
CIFS supports CFS with a limitation. A running package will fail if
another cluster node tries to start samba using the configuration used
by this package. Do NOT attempt to start another samba instance on a
different cluster node using the shared configuration that is being
used by any samba package.
If you need help creating, importing or managing the volume group or
or disk group and filesystem, please refer to the chapter titled
"Building an HA Cluster Configuration" in the "Managing
Serviceguard" manual for explicit instructions.
You can configure more shared storage for additional HP CIFS Server
instances using the same method.
Note: Under shared configuration, you can choose to put samba
binaries as well in shared file system. You may have to create soft
links on the local file system, to these binaries residing in shared
file system.

NOTE: The following sections describe the method for
creating the Serviceguard package using the legacy method. For
information on creating the Serviceguard package using the
modular method, please refer to the white paper "Modular
package
support in Serviceguard for Linux and ECM Toolkits" located at

C. Setting Up the Package
The following procedures include the steps to configure a package
running the HP CIFS Server instance, which includes customizing the
package configuration file and package control script. (Please refer
to the manual "Managing Serviceguard" for more detailed
instructions on cluster configuration.)
The procedures below assume that the user is configuring an HP CIFS
Server package named "smb1", consisting of one service named
"smb1_monitor". The HP CIFS Server instance is listening to a
relocatable IP address "192.168.0.1" and all of its configuration and
document files are in a file system "/shared/smb1" directory.Here, it
is assumed that the user has already determined the cluster
