Install the HA HP CIFS Server

Follow the steps below to load the HA HP CIFS Server software.

1. Install the HP CIFS Server using SD on the primary and alternate

nodes. If the HP CIFS Server is already installed and conﬁgured on

the primary node, stop it using the /opt/samba/bin/stopsmb

command and skip to Step 3 below.

2. On the primary node:

Run the /opt/samba/bin/samba_setup script to conﬁgure the

installed ﬁles. Enter the server name and domain/workgroup name

for the HA HP CIFS Server at this time.

3. On the alternate nodes:

Run the /opt/samba/bin/samba_setup script and conﬁgure it with

the same authentication level and domain/workgroup as the primary

node.

NOTE For users used to authenticate CIFS clients, make sure that they

have the same name, user ID number, primary group and password

on all nodes. This is a very important step.

4. Add the following to the [global] section of the

/etc/opt/samba/smb.conf ﬁle on both nodes:

interfaces = XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 127.0.0.1

bind interfaces only = yes

Where “XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 127.0.0.1” is replaced with the

relocatable IP address for the MC ServiceGuard package, not the

LANIC IP address associated with the physical LAN card of the

system. If your MC ServiceGuard package has more than one

relocatable IP address, put the all on this line.
