HP CIFS Server 3.0a Administrator's Guide version A.02.01

Installing and Configuring the HP CIFS Server

cd /export/dfsroot
chown root /export/dfsroot
chmod 775 /export/dfsroot
ln -S msdfs:serverA\\shareA linka
ln -S msdfs:serverB\\shareB serverC\\shareC linkb
2. If you use the ls -l command on the /export/dfsroot directory, it
should show an output similar to this one:
lrwxrwxrwx l root sys 24 Oct 30 10:20
linka -> msdfs:serverA\\shareA
lrwxrwxrwx l root sys 30 Oct 30 10:25
linkb -> msdfs:serverB\\shareB, serverC\\shareC
In this example, “serverC” is the alternate path for “linkb”. Because
of this, if “serverB” goes down, “linkb” can still be accessed from
“serverC”. “linka” and “linkb” are share names. Accessing either one
will take users directly to the appropriate share on the network.
Refer to the following screen snapshot for an example:

MC/ServiceGuard High Availability Support
Highly Available HP CIFS Server allows the HP CIFS Server product to
run on an MC/ServiceGuard cluster of nodes. MC/ServiceGuard allows
you to create high availability clusters of HP 9000 server computers.
Template files for version A.01.08 have been revised to allow any number
of cluster nodes and other advantages over previous schemes.
