Sun Cluster Data Service for Samba Guide for Solaris OS

Configuration Requirements

These requirements apply to Sun Cluster HA for Samba only. You must meet these requirements before you proceed with your Sun Cluster HA for Samba installation and configuration.

Caution – Caution –

Your data service configuration might not be supported if you do not adhere to these requirements.

If you want to set up Samba as member of a Windows 200x server with ADS support, you must configure kerberos on the cluster nodes and compile Samba with both Ldap and kerberos support. Read the Samba documentation for those tasks.

Samba components and their dependencies —You can configure the Sun Cluster HA for Samba data service to protect a Samba instance and its respective components. These components, and their dependencies are described in Table 1–3.

Table 3 Samba components and their dependencies (via -> symbol)

Componet 

Description 

Samba (Mandatory)

-> Winbind resource, if winbind and a single Samba instance is deployed. See below for more information.

-> Winbind resource group, if winbind and multiple Samba instances are deployed. See below for more information.

-> SUNW.HAStoragePlus resource

The SUNW.HAStoragePlus resource manages the Samba File System Mount points and ensures that Samba is not started until these are mounted. 

Winbind(Optional)

-> SUNW.HAStoragePlus resource

The SUNW.HAStoragePlus resource manages the Winbind File System Mount points and ensures that Winbind is not started until these are mounted. 

Note –

For more detailed information about these Samba components, refer to the smbd(8), nmbd(8), winbindd(8), and smb.conf(5) man pages.

If your configuration has only a single instance of Samba with winbind, the winbind resource must be registered within the same resource group as the Samba resource and the winbind resource will use the same configuration directory as the Samba resource. The Samba resource must be start-dependent on the winbind resource. Refer to the r_properties(5) man page for information on Resource_dependencies.

If your configuration has multiple instances of Samba with winbind, the winbind resource must be a scalable resource and have a separate configuration directory, and all Samba resources must be start-dependent on the winbind scalable resource group. Refer to the rg_properties(5) man page for information on RG_dependencies. You must mount the winbind configuration directory as a Global File System.

Each Samba component has a configuration and registration file in /opt/SUNWscsmb/xxx/util, where xxx is a three—character abbreviation for the respective Samba component. These files allow you to register the Samba components with Sun Cluster.

Within these files, the appropriate dependencies have been applied.

If you want to set up Samba as member of a Windows 200x server with ADS support and the Samba binaries is not static linked with the Ldap and kerberos libraries, you must configure SMB_LIB_PATH parameter in /opt/SUNWscsmb/samba/utils/samba_config and WB_LIB_PATH in /opt/SUNWscsmb/winbind/utils/winbind_config to point to the directories where those libraries resides.

smb.conf file — The Sun Cluster HA for Samba data service provides a sample smb.conf file. Ensure that the following parameters are set.

Note –

The smb.conf file is probably the most important file within Samba. Refer to the smb.conf(5) man page for complete configuration information on the parameters that follow. The Samba man pages with Solaris 9 are installed only if you have installed the SUNWsfman package.

Note –

If you make additional smb.conf entries and those entries require a path variable, then you must ensure that any subsequent pathname is created within the relevant Samba or Winbind instance configuration directory.
