MC/ServiceGuard NFS Toolkit
Multi-Computer/ServiceGuard Network File Server (MC/ServiceGuard NFS) Toolkit
version A.11.11 uses MC/ServiceGuard to set up highly available NFS servers. An NFS
server is a host that “exports” its local directories (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 MC/ServiceGuard NFS, the NFS server
package containing the exported file systems can move to a different node in the cluster
in the event of failure.

December 2001
• MC/ServiceGuard NFS Toolkit versions A.11.00.05 and A.11.11.02 are major
releases. Both of these versions have dependencies on MC/SG A.11.13 that provide
the integrated solution for multiple MC/ServiceGuard partner software working
together under the new MC/SG framework. MC/SG NFS Toolkit has been
re-architected to fit under the new framework.
• NFS-related control functions and variables have been extracted from
MC/ServiceGuard package control script to a separate NFS specific control script,
hanfs.sh. When the MC/ServiceGuard package is started, it will check for this
script under the package directory, and if it exists, will invoke NFS control script.
• An easy troubleshooting mechanism has been provided. Customers can easily
identify if a problem resides in MC/SG NFS Toolkit from the MC/SG package log file.
• MC/ServiceGuard NFS Toolkit A.11.11.02 supports VxVM as an alternative disk
storage management technology.
updated for
September 2001
• MC/ServiceGuard NFS Toolkit can now monitor TCP services, when NFS over TCP
is enabled.
