Conﬁguring HA HP CIFS

Overview of HA HP CIFS Server

Chapter 11 241

Instructions

The following instructions are for one of the MC/ServiceGuard package.

You will have to go through these steps for each CIFS server package

(one for each node). You will then need to copy all the ﬁles to all nodes in

your cluster.

When complete, each HP-UX system will have a package using the

unique name for each node in the cluster, though only the package

corresponding to itself will be active until a failover occurs.

For example, if you have a three node cluster, you will have three

packages on each of the three HPUX systems.

There will be three cluster directories:

1. /etc/cmcluster/samba/pkg1

2. /etc/cmcluster/samba/pkg2

3. /etc/cmcluster/samba/pkg3

There will be three conﬁguration ﬁles:

1. /etc/opt/samba/smb.conf.pkg1

2. /etc/opt/samba/smb.conf.pkg2

3. /etc/opt/samba/smb.conf.pkg3

There will be three directories:

1. /var/opt/samba/pkg1

2. /var/opt/samba/pkg2

3. /var/opt/samba/pkg3

...where the locks and log ﬁles will reside.

With most conﬁgurations, it will be easier to set up and maintain the

dynamic security and data ﬁles on shared disks. Therefore, you may

want to create the /var/opt/samba/<package name> paths used in the

example on shared disks.

Complete the following for each CIFS package of your MC/ServiceGuard

cluster:

1. Create the following directories:
