Serviceguard NFS Toolkit A.11.31.02 Release Notes (March 2008)

Serviceguard NFS Toolkit Overview
HP Serviceguard Network File Server (NFS) Toolkit uses HP Serviceguard to set up
highly available NFS servers.
You must set up a Serviceguard cluster before you can set up Highly Available (HA)
NFS. Serviceguard NFS Toolkit is a separately purchased set of configuration files and
control script, which you can customize for your specific needs.
An NFS server is a host that exports its local directories and makes them available for
client hosts to mount using NFS. On the NFS client, these mounted directories look to
users like part of the client's local file system. With HP Serviceguard NFS Toolkit, the
NFS server package containing the exported file systems can move to a different node
in the cluster in the event of failure. After Serviceguard starts the NFS package on the
adoptive node, the NFS file systems are re-exported from the adoptive node with
minimum disruption of services to users. When the service returns, the user can continue
access to the file. Users need to restart the client.
Serviceguard NFS Toolkit A.11.23.07 is supported on HP-UX 11i v2 only.
