Serviceguard NFS Toolkit A.11.11.06, A.11.23.05 and A.11.31.05 Administrator's Guide
The external script invokes another script called nfs1_xmnt. This script NFS-mounts the file
system exported by the package pkg01. If you configured the file system in the /etc/fstab
file, the package might not be active yet when the servers tried to mount the file system at system
boot. By configuring the external script to NFS-mount the file system, you ensure that the package
is active before the mount command is invoked.
The first line in the start_command function of the external script, executes the nfs1_xmnt
script locally on host thyme (the primary node for pkg01). The second line, beginning with
remsh, executes the nfs1_xmnt script remotely on host basil.
If pkg01 fails to come up, or if the remsh to host basil fails, the file system will not be mounted,
and no error will be returned. The only way to be sure the file system was mounted successfully
is to run the nfs1_xmnt script manually on both host thyme and host basil.
The only user-configurable values in the nfs1_xmnt script are the SNFS[n] and CNFS[n]
variables. These specify the server location of the file system and the client mount point for the
file system. The following line is the from the nfs1_xmnt script in this example configuration:
SNFS[0]="nfs1:/hanfs/nfsu011"; CNFS[0]="/nfs/nfsu011"
In the SNFS[0] variable, nfs1 is the name that maps to the relocatable IP address of pkg01. It
must be configured in the name service the host is using (DNS, NIS, or the /etc/hosts file). If
you do not want to configure a name for the package, you can just specify the IP address in the
SNFS[0] variable, as follows:
SNFS[0]="15.13.114.243:/hanfs/nfsu011";
CNFS[0]=:/nfs/nfsu011"
The client mount point, specified in the CNFS[0] variable, must be different from the location
of the file system on the server (SNFS[0]).
