Configuring HA HP CIFS

[global]
workgroup = ha_domain
netbios name = ha_server1
interfaces = XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
bind interfaces only = yes
# Make sure there are no directories named starting
# with “log.” if you plan to use “%m” this way
log file = /var/opt/samba/ha_server1/logs/log.%m
lock directory = /var/opt/samba/ha_server1/locks
Replace the "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" with one (space
separated) relocatable IP address and subnet mask for the MC
ServiceGuard package.
If /opt/samba/bin/samba_setup was run during installation as
suggested:
• Take the workgroup line from the /etc/opt/samba/smb.conf file.
Add in the rest of your desired configuration items.
• Take the NetBIOS name line from the same file, or, if there is no
NetBIOS name line, put in the UNIX host name for the server on
the NetBIOS name line.
• Consider load balancing when creating the share paths.
• Consider whether you need to locate your private files on a
shared volume, etc. You may want to review “Special Notes for
HA HP CIFS Server” found at the end of this section, now.
Make sure that the file name is in all lowercase letters (e.g.
/etc/opt/samba/smb.conf.ha_server1, NOT
/etc/opt/samba/smb.conf.HA_Server1) even if the NetBIOS
name of the server has capital letters. If capital letters are used
in the file name, failover will not work properly.
3. Move all relevant data to the HP CIFS Server package shared
volume.
Relevant data, consisting of all directories and files which will be
accessed using HP CIFS Server, should reside on shared volumes.
This data includes any shares created by the user. For example, if the
HP CIFS Server administrator creates a TEST=c:/tmp/test share,
then all the data from /tmp/test should reside on a shared logical
volume.
