Serviceguard NFS Toolkit A.11.11.06, A.11.23.05 and A.11.31.08 Administrator's Guide (October 2011)
There is a short time, after one package has failed over but before the cmmodpkg command has
executed, when the other package can fail over and the host will adopt it. In other words, if two
packages fail over at approximately the same time, a host may adopt both packages, even though
the package control option is specified.
See “Example Two - One Adoptive Node for Two Packages with File Lock Migration” (page 69)
for a sample configuration using the package control option.
NOTE: The NFS specific variables have been moved to NFS specific control script in Serviceguard
NFS Toolkit with the A.11.11.02 and A.11.00.05 releases. See section “Editing the NFS Control
Script (hanfs.sh) ” (page 27) for the details.
Editing nfs.cntl for NFS Toolkit A.11.00.04 and A.11.11.01 (or lower)
For Serviceguard NFS Toolkit A.11.00.04 or lower for HP-UX 11.0 or Serviceguard NFS Toolkit
A.11.11.01 or lower for HP-UX 11i v1 using Serviceguard A.11.09 (or below) framework.
Example steps:
1. Create a separate VG[n] variable for each volume group.
VG[0]=/dev/vg01 VG[1]=/dev/vg02 ...
2. Create a separate LV[n] and FS[n] variable for each volume group and file system that
will be mounted on the server:.
LV[0]=/dev/vg01/lvol1;FS[0]=/ha_root
LV[1]=/dev/vg01/lvol2;FS[1]=/users/scaf
LV[2]=/dev/vg02/lvol1;FS[2]=/ha_data
3. Create a separate XFS[n] variable for each NFS directory to be exported. Specify the
directory name and any export options.
XFS[0]="/ha_root" XFS[1]="/users/scaf" XFS[2]="-o ro /ha_data"
Do not configure these exported directories in the /etc/exports file. When an NFS server
boots up, it attempts to export all file systems in its /etc/exports file. If those file systems
are not currently present on the NFS server node, the node cannot boot properly. This happens
if the server is an adoptive node for a file system, and the file system is available on the server
only after failover of the primary node.
4. Specify the IP address for the package and the address of the subnet to which the IP address
belongs.
IP[0]=15.13.114.243 SUBNET[0]=15.13.112.0
The IP address you specify is the relocatable IP address for the package. NFS clients that
mount the file systems in the package will use this IP address to identify the server. You should
configure a name for this address in the DNS or NIS database, or in the /etc/hosts file.
5. If you want to run the NFS monitor script , set the NFS_SERVICE_NAME variable to the value
of the SERVICE_NAME variable in the package configuration file. Each package must have
a unique service name.
NFS_SERVICE_NAME[0]=nfs1.monitor
If you do not want to run the NFS monitor script, comment out the NFS_SERVICE_NAME and
NFS_SERVICE_CMD variables:
# NFS_SERVICE_NAME[0]=nfs.monitor
# NFS_SERVICE_CMD[0]=/etc/cmcluster/nfs/nfs.mon
By default, the NFS_SERVICE_NAME and NFS_SERVICE_CMD variables are commented out,
and the NFS monitor script is not run.
You do not have to run the NFS monitor script. If your NFS package configuration file specifies
PKG_SWITCHING_ENABLED YES and NET_SWITCHING_ENABLED YES (the defaults), the
package will switch to the next adoptive node or to a standby network interface in the event
