TIP You can specify the number of retry attempts for all these processes in
the nfs.mon file.
On the Client Side
The client should NFS-mount a file system using the package name in
the mount command. The package name is associated with the package’s
relocatable IP address. On client systems, be sure to use a hard mount
and set the proper retry values for the mount. Alternatively, set the
proper timeout for automounter. The timeout should be greater than the
total end-to-end recovery time for the MC/ServiceGuard NFS
package—that is, running fsck, mounting file systems, and exporting
file systems on the new node. (With journalled file systems, this time
should be between one and two minutes.) Setting the timeout to a value
greater than the recovery time allows clients to reconnect to the file
system after it returns to the cluster on the new node.
