Serviceguard NFS Toolkit A.11.31.06 Release Notes (April 2010)

Announcement

Serviceguard NFS Toolkit A.11.31.06 supports both legacy and modular package configurations

with HP Serviceguard A.11.18 and later versions. The support for legacy and modular package

configurations is available for serviceguard clusters configured with both VxFS (non-CFS) and

Veritas Cluster File System (CFS). In a CFS environment, all nodes in the Serviceguard cluster

can concurrently access the files in the CFS. The NFS servers in the cluster can concurrently access

and export directories in the CFS. As a result, CFS enables NFS clients (typically located outside

the cluster) to concurrently use multiple NFS servers to access files. If an NFS server or a package

fails, the adoptive nodes do not have to mount disks from the failed system, since the disks are

already mounted on the adoptive node. This feature provides improved performance, scalability,

and availability.

Serviceguard NFS Toolkit A.11.31.06 contains defect fixes. For information about these defect

fixes, see “New Fixes in Version A.11.31.06” (page 8)

For more information about how to configure the NFS modular package in a VxFS (non-CFS)

environment, see the Serviceguard NFS Toolkit A.11.11.06, A.11.23.05 and A.11.31.05 Administrator's

Guide at:

For more information about how to configure the NFS modular package in a Veritas CFS

environment, see the Serviceguard NFS Toolkit Support for Cluster File System White Paper at:

NOTE: Support for Serviceguard NFS Legacy Packages will be completely withdrawn in the

future. Use the modular method to create new packages whenever possible.
