Figure 2-8 How the Automounter Sets Up Indirect Mounts
To Configure Multiple (Replicated) Servers for An
Automounter Directory
1. Follow the instructions in “To Mount a Remote Directory Using a
Direct Automounter Map” on page 68 or “To Mount a Remote
Directory Using an Indirect Automounter Map” on page 72.
2. In the direct or indirect map, modify the line that mounts the remote
directory so that multiple servers are listed.
• If the remote directory has a different name on the different
servers, use a syntax like the following example from a direct
map:
/nfs/proj2/schedule -ro
broccoli:/export/proj2/schedule \
cauliflower:/proj2/FY94/schedule
