Configuring HA HP CIFS
Overview of HA HP CIFS Server
Chapter 11 243
• Consider whether you need to locate your smbpasswd and
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. If you run SWAT or smbpasswd utilities, keep in
mind that they will be operating on smb.conf not your
smb.conf.<package name> configuration. You may want to copy
smb.conf.<package name> to smb.conf for this reason.
Domain security configurations require ’net join’ to run in order
to join the domain. Since this command updates the
secrets.tdb file, you should perform this step after smb.conf
has been updated with the correct (possibly shared logical
volume) path to the private directory (configured with "smb
passwd file" in smb.conf).
Make sure that the file name is in all lowercase letters (e.g.
/etc/opt/samba/smb.conf.pkg1, NOT
/etc/opt/samba/smb.conf.PKG1). 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.
Below is an example of copied data from the required HP CIFS
Server directories to the logical volumes in the volume group vg01.
The same can be done for pkg2.
mkdir /tmp/share1 /tmp/share2
mount /dev/vg01/lvol1 /tmp/share1
mount /dev/vg01/lvol2 /tmp/share2
cp -r /your/data1/* /tmp/share1
cp -r /your/data2/* /tmp/share2
umount /tmp/share1
umount /tmp/share2
rm -rf /tmp/share1 /tmp/share2
4. Create a directory for HP CIFS Server cluster package:
mkdir /etc/cmcluster/samba/pkg1
