Configuring HA HP CIFS
Special Notes for HA HP CIFS Server
Chapter 7 167
If you configure your Samba server with a [printers] share to
automatically share all the printers on your HP-UX system, then you
will need to be certain that all your MC/ServiceGuard nodes have the
same HP-UX printers defined. Otherwise, when a failover occurs, the
list of shared printers for the Samba server will change resulting in
problems on clients using those printers.
• LMHOSTS File
If you wish to use an LMHOSTS file to store the static addresses for
certain NetBios names, HP recommends that you put the LMHOSTS
file on a logical shared volume.
By default the LMHOSTS file is in the /etc/opt/samba directory,
which should already be in a logical shared volume, so the smb.conf
file is shared for all the MC/ServiceGuard nodes. If you specify a
different path for the LMHOSTS file with the -H option when you
invoke nmbd, HP recommends that you put the LMHOSTS file on a
logical shared volume so that all the nodes can share it.
