3.4.0 MxFS for CIFS Administration Guide

Chapter 3: Configure CIFS with Virtual CIFS Servers 30

Script Pathnames: The Virtual File Share monitor can optionally be

configured with the following types of scripts:

Recovery script. Runs after a monitor probe failure is detected, in an

attempt to restore access to the Virtual File Share.

Start script. Runs as the Virtual File Share is becoming active on a server.

Stop script. Runs as the Virtual File Share is becoming inactive on a

server.

When a monitor is instantiated, the ClusterPulse process chooses the best

node to make the service active. The Start script is run on this node. On all

other nodes configured for the monitor, the Stop script is run to ensure

that the service is not active.

Start scripts must be robust enough to run when the service is already

started, without considering this to be an error. Similarly, Stop scripts

must be robust enough to run when the service is already stopped,

without considering this to be an error. In both of these cases, the script

should exit with a zero exit status.
